The right hand of Moses was but the instrument; the arm of God was the real mover (Exo 15:6; Exo 14:21).
dividing the water-- (Neh 9:11; Psa 78:13). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
That led them by the right hand of Moses - (See the notes at Isa 41:10-13; Isa 45:1).
Dividing the water before them - Exo 14:21.
To make himself an everlasting name - He designed to perform a work which, it would be seen, could not be performed by any false god or by any human arm, and to do it in such circumstances, and in such a manner, that it might be seen everywhere that this was the true God (compare the notes at Isa 45:6). The deliverance from Egypt was attended with such amazing miracles, and with such a sudden destruction of his foes, that none but the true God could have performed it. Egypt was at that time the center of all the science, civilization, and art known among mankind; and what occurred there would be known to other lands. God, therefore, in this signal manner, designed to make a public demonstration of his existence and power that shall be known in all lands, and that should never be forgotten. |
