Exodus 15:1-21 ~ You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them.

The Ipuwer Papyrus is papyrus also called The Admonitions of Ipuwer. Its official designation is Papyrus Leiden I 344 recto. Currently in the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, Netherlands, after being purchased from Giovanni Anastasi, the Swedish consul to Egypt, in 1828. The sole surviving manuscript dates to the later 13th century B.C. (no earlier than the 19th dynasty in the New Kingdom).

Exodus 15:1-21

English Standard Version, David Cochran Audio

Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying,

“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider ^[chariot] he has thrown into the sea.
² The Lord is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
my father's God, and I will exalt him.
³ The Lord is a man of war;
the Lord is his name.

⁴ “Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea,
and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea.
⁵ The floods covered them;
they went down into the depths like a stone.
⁶ Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,
your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy.
⁷ In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;
you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble.
⁸ At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
the floods stood up in a heap;
the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
⁹ The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
¹⁰ You blew with your wind; the sea covered them;
they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

¹¹ “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?
¹² You stretched out your right hand;
the earth swallowed them.

¹³ “You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed;
you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.
¹⁴ The peoples have heard; they tremble;
pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
¹⁵ Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed;
trembling seizes the leaders of Moab;
all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
¹⁶ Terror and dread fall upon them;
because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone,
till your people, O Lord, pass by,
till the people pass by whom you have purchased.
¹⁷ You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain,
the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode,
the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.
¹⁸ The Lord will reign forever and ever.”

¹⁹ For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea. ²⁰ Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. ²¹ And Miriam sang to them:

“Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

If they remade this movie today, would they delete this Chapter? The thing about God; He is GOD. His Ways and Plans are His Own. The site I took this reading from was telling of Rabbinic Literature to discount Miriam and her tambourine. I'd say, I'm backing away from that. God tells His Story the way He wants it told. God never has to be politically correct.

And my response to that is. My LORD and my God. You have the Words of Life. In Jesus Christ as LORD.

If you have never seen "The Ten Commandments" - (Paramount Pictures released this on October 5, 1956 Directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starred Charlton Heston) it is well worth the time. We always think of the Movie industry as being profit related, but Mr. DeMille approached this film thinking of it's significance. He would probably be very grateful each year his work is shown on television. And saddened at the lack of Easter representation of Jesus at Easter. It was enormously well done for 1956, but could use some revamping today.

Cecil B. deMille was persuaded to cast Charlton Heston as Moses in his movie-epic, The Ten Commandments, based on Heston's purported physical resemblance to Michelangelo's Moses.

Michelangelo's Moses located in a small Church called St. Peter's in Chains, Italy. Visitors can look for the chip on Moses' knee which was, according to one story, the result of Michelangelo's hurling his chisel at the statue. The artist, in awe of the life-like qualities that emerged from the marble as he worked, is said to have thrown the chisel and screamed at the statue, "Perché non parli? (Why don't you talk?)

This is, of course, about Jesus as God.

+ Other Scripture for Today Blogspot readings on the archeological papyrus - Ipuwer.

(An important reminder would be archeological evidence is grand, but it isn't the Word of God. The Ipuwer, is to be noted, it was found at the base of a pyramid by a reputable source and the pages listing Pharoah's name are missing. As it is missing from Scripture as well. There are other documents listing the arrival of the Children of Israel as taxable records. Interesting and thought provoking.)

Psalm 78:1-39 ~ forgot His works and the wonders that He had shown them

Genesis 46 ~ Israel took his journey with all that he had

Exodus 17:1-16 ~ Moses held up his hand

Psalm 78: 1- 39 ~ Things from of old

Isaiah 12:4
And you will say in that day: “Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted.
