rebuked-- (Psa 104:7).
as through the wilderness-- (Isa 63:11-14). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
He rebuked the Red Sea also - The word rendered "rebuke" commonly means to chide - as when one is angry with another for having done wrong. Here it is evidently a poetic term, meaning that he spake "as if" he were angry; or "as if" the Red Sea did wrong in presenting an obstacle or obstruction to the passage of his people. Compare Exo 14:21-22,
So he led them through the depths - Through what had been the abyss; what had seemed to be depths, being covered with water.
As through the wilderness - As through a desert or dry place; as he afterward led them through the wilderness. The waters parted asunder, and made a way for them. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Led them - As securely as if they had walked upon the dry land. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| He rebuked the Red Sea - In the descriptions of the psalmist every thing has life. The sea is an animated being, behaves itself proudly, is rebuked, and retires in confusion. |

12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
