EXODUS 15

THE SONG OF MOSES + MIRIAM 

Moses and the Israelites sing to God, praising Him for His provision in the Red Sea. Miriam is mentioned as the sister of Moses, the one who saw him floating down the Nile. This is the first reference to worship and praise in the form of music throughout the scriptures. 

The Israelites travel for three days and do not have any water. God provides them with water through Moses, who he gives the ability to turn bitter undrinkable water into clean, sweet water. 

God promises the Israelites that if they follow Him, they will not experience the illnesses that the Egyptians suffered from.
