Liturgy su Esodo 15:78

“His glory shines forever and ever!”

The Redeemer shall come to Tziyon and to those of Yaakov who repent from sin, says Adonoy. As for Me, this is My covenant with them, said Adonoy: My spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your children, nor from the mouth of your children’s children, said Adonoy— from now to eternity. And You, Holy One, are enthroned upon the praises of Yisrael.¹Hashem waits to hear the praises of Yisrael before He listens to the praises of the angels.—Etz Yosef
Hashem waits until the very last congregation of Jews has completed its prayers and then accepts the prayers of all Yisrael at one time.—Avudraham And [the angels] call one to another and say: “Holy, holy, holy is Adonoy of Hosts:²According to the Targum interpretation, the thrice “holy” in the Kedushah does not indicate three ascending degrees of sanctification. Instead its implies a declaration that He Who is holy in the loftiest regions of His heavenly abode is holy not only there but also on earth, the creation of His Almighty power; and that He was not only holy in the past, but that He is holy even now and will be holy throughout all the ages.—S.R. Hirsch the fullness of all the earth is His glory.”³Yeshaya 6:3 And they receive [sanction] one from another, and say, “Holy in the highest heights of heaven, the abode of His Divine Presence; holy upon earth, the work of His mighty power; holy forever and to all eternity— is Adonoy of Hosts; the whole earth is filled with the radiance of His glory.” And a wind lifted me; and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing; “Blessed is the glory of Adonoy from His place.”⁴Yechezkel 3:12⁵See note 43 on Page 285. “And a wind lifted me and I heard behind me a sound of a great rushing of those who uttered praises and said, “Blessed is the glory of Adonoy from the place, the abode of His Divine Presence.” Adonoy will reign forever and ever.⁶Shemos 15:18 Adonoy, His Kingdom is established forever and to all eternity.

We therefore put our hope in You, Adonoy our God, to soon behold the glory of Your might in banishing idolatry from the earth, and the false gods will be utterly exterminated to perfect the world as the kingdom of Shadai.²See page 00, note 00. And all mankind will invoke Your Name, to turn back to You, all the wicked of the earth. They will realize and know, all the inhabitants of the world, that to You, every knee must bend, every tongue must swear [allegiance to You]. Before You, Adonoy, our God, they will bow and prostrate themselves, and to the glory of Your Name give honor. And they will all accept [upon themselves] the yoke of Your kingdom, and You will reign over them, soon, forever and ever. For the kingdom is Yours, and to all eternity You will reign in glory, as it is written in Your Torah: Adonoy will reign forever and ever.³Exodus 15:18. And it is said: And Adonoy will be King over the whole earth; on that day Adonoy will be One and His Name One.⁴Zecharyah 14:9.

On that day,¹⁵⁹Even though they had been free a week earlier, they were insecure, fearing that the Egyptians would capture and re-enslave them. Only when Hashem had drowned the Egyptians were the Israelites free psychologically.—Seporno Adonoy delivered Yisrael from the hand of Mitzrayim, and Yisrael saw the Mitzriyim dead on the seashore. And Yisrael saw the great hand¹⁶⁰The use of the word “hand” or any physical attribute with regard to Hashem is merely metaphorical, since Hashem is in no way physical. which Adonoy wielded against Mitzrayim, and the people feared Adonoy, and they believed in Adonoy, and that Moshe was His servant. Then Moshe and the Children of Yisrael sang this song to Adonoy, and they said: I will sing to Adonoy for He is most high;¹⁶¹When people praise a mortal, they often declare undeserved praise. But Hashem is so great that any praise we offer is insufficient.—Rashi the horse with its rider, He threw into the sea. The strength and retribution of God was the cause of my deliverance;¹⁶²This translation follows Rashi’s commentary. this is my Almighty and I will glorify Him, God of my father and I will exalt Him. Adonoy is master of war Adonoy is His Name. Pharaoh's chariots and army, He hurled into the sea; and his elite officers were drowned in the Sea of Reeds. The deep waters covered them; they descended into the depths like stone. Your right hand Adonoy is adorned with power, Your right hand Adonoy crushes the enemy. And in Your great majesty, You destroyed Your opponents; You sent forth Your fury, it consumed them like straw.¹⁶³This verse is also translated, “You will send forth Your fury: it will consume them like straw.” According to the Zohar it thus refers to the time of the Resurrection, when Hashem will destroy all the wicked. And with the wind from Your nostrils the waters were heaped up, flowing water stood erect like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.¹⁶⁴The water became hard as stone and the Egyptians were hurled against it with great force.—Rashi The enemy (Pharaoh) said: “I will pursue [them], I will overtake [them], I will divide the spoils; I will satisfy myself; I will unsheathe my sword, my hand will destroy them. You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.¹⁶⁵Seporno and others interpret the verse to read: “They, the mighty, sank like lead in the waters,” “mighty,” referring to the Egyptian officers rather than to the waters. Who is like You among the mighty, Adonoy! who is like You? [You are] adorned in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders.¹⁶⁶Hashem is “awesome in praise” for we fear that all our praise will prove inadequate. In truth, it is impossible to praise Hashem fully, and Dovid therefore said (Tehillim 65:2) “For You, silence is praise.”—Rashi You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them. You led in Your kindliness, the people whom You redeemed; You guided them with Your might to Your holy dwelling place. The peoples heard and trembled, pangs of fear gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.¹⁶⁷The Philistines had killed the Ephraimites thirty years earlier when they left Egypt by force. The Philistines were thus gripped with terror when they heard that Yisrael had escaped from Egypt.—Rashi Then the chieftains of Edom panicked, the mighty men of Moab were seized with trembling, all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.¹⁶⁸Nations on all sides panicked: The Philistines to the west, the Edomites to the south, the Moavites to the east and the Canaanites to the north. The Philistines feared revenge. The Edomites panicked because they feared that Yisrael would now seek revenge for what Esau (Edom) had done to Yaakov. The Moavites, the descendants of Lot, feared they would be punished because of the dispute between Lot and Avraham (Bereishis 13:7). Canaan “melted away” because they realized that Yisrael was destined to take their land, and their astrologers told them that there was no way out.—Rabbainu Bachyah Terror and dread fall upon them; at the greatness of Your arm they were still as stone; until Your people cross over, Adonoy, until [they] cross over,¹⁶⁹The two crossings are the respective crossings of the Arnon and the Yardein rivers before entering the Promised Land.—Onkelos —the people You have acquired. You will bring them and plant them¹⁷⁰Moshe here prophesied that he would not be entering the Promised Land, and he therefore prayed that Hashem should bring the Jews into His inheritance.—Rashi on the mountain of Your inheritance, the place for Your habitation which You, Adonoy, have made; the Sanctuary, my Master, [which] Your hands established.¹⁷¹Hashem’s “habitat” on earth, the Holy Temple, is a parallel of the Holy Temple on high.—Rashi Adonoy will reign forever and ever. Adonoy will reign forever and ever.¹⁷²This verse is not repeated in Shemos. But it is repeated in prayer to signify the end of the Ode, just as the last verse of Tehillim 150 is repeated in the prayer whereas it is not repeated in the Tehillim.—Avudraham Adonoy! His sovereignty is established forever and to all eternity.¹⁷³This verse is a paraphrase of the previous verse as found in Targum Onkelos. When Pharaoh's horses, with his chariots, and his horsemen, went into the sea, Adonoy turned back on them the waters of the sea; and the Children of Yisrael walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.¹⁷⁴Shemos 14:30—15:19. For the kingship is Adonoy's and He rules over nations.¹⁷⁵Tehillim 22:29. The word “king” signifies one whose leadership is accepted freely by all his subjects. Therefore, in reference to Yisrael who willingly accept the Kingship of Hashem, it says, “For the kingship is Adonoy’s.” A “ruler,” however, is one who forcibly rules people, without their consent. Regarding the nations who do not willingly submit to Adonoy’s Kingship, the Psalmist says, “And He rules over nations.”—Gaon of Vilna And deliverers will go up to Mount Tziyon to judge the mount of Esav, and the kingdom will be Adonoy's.¹⁷⁶Ovadyah 1:21. And Adonoy will be King over the whole earth; on that day Adonoy will be One and His Name One.¹⁷⁷Zecharyah 14:9. In the future, Hashem will be recognized by all the nations of the world who will accept Him willingly as their King.

“Who is like You among the mighty, Adonoy! Who is like You? [You are] adorned in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders”⁸Exodus 15:11. Your children beheld Your sovereignty when You divided the sea before Moses. “This is my God,”⁹Exodus 15:2. they exclaimed, and declared,

It has been clearly demonstrated to you that the Lord alone is God; there is none beside Him (Deuteronomy 4:35). Who alone works great marvels, His steadfast love is eternal (Psalms 136:4). There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, and there are no deeds like Yours (Psalms 86:8). May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in His works (Psalms 104:31). Let the name of the Lord be blessed now and forever (Psalms 113:2). May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; may He never abandon us or forsake us (I Kings 8:57). Declare, "Deliver us, O God, our deliverer, and gather us and save us from the nations, to acclaim Your holy name, to glory in Your praise" (I Chronicles 16:35). [The Lord reigns, the Lord has reigned,] The Lord will reign for ever and ever (Exodus 15:18). May the Lord grant strength to His people; may the Lord bestow on His people wellbeing (Psalms 29:11). We open the ark. When the Ark was to set out, Moses would say, "Advance, O Lord; may Your enemies be scattered, and may Your foes flee before You (Numbers 10:35). Advance, O Lord to Your resting-place, You and Your mighty Ark! Your priests are clothed in triumph; Your loyal ones sing for joy. For the sake of Your servant David do not reject Your anointed one (Psalms 132:8-10). In that day they shall say, "This is our God; we trusted in Him, and He delivered us, this is the Lord, in whom we trusted; let us rejoice and exult in His deliverance" (Isaiah 25:9). Your kingship is an eternal kingship; Your dominion is for all generations (Psalms 145:13). For instruction shall come forth from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:3).

“Adonoy will reign forever and ever.”¹⁰Exodus 15:18. And it is said, “For Adonoy has liberated Jacob and redeemed him from a hand, mightier than his.”¹¹Jeremiah 31:10. Blessed are You, Adonoy Who has redeemed Israel.

The Sheep is saying: “Who is like you among the mighty ones, YHVH? Who is like you, mighty in holiness, awesome in praise, worker of wonders.”

The Ox is saying, “Then Moshe and the Children of Yisra’el sang this song to YHVH, and they said, ‘I shall sing to YHVH, for he has triumphed; He has thrown the horse and its rider into the sea.’”

And He said, "If you will diligently heed the voice of Adonoy, your God, and do what is upright in His eyes, and listen carefully to His commandments, and guard all His statutes— [then] every sickness that I put in Egypt, I will not put upon you, for I am Adonoy, your Healer.¹⁰Exodus 15:26

Master of the World! I am Yours and my dreams are Yours. I have dreamed a dream and I do not know its meaning. May it be Your will, Adonoy, my God, and God of my fathers, that all my dreams regarding myself, and regarding all of Yisrael be for the good; those I have dreamed concerning myself, and those I have dreamed about others, and those that others have dreamed about me. If they are good dreams, strengthen and reinforce them and may they be fulfilled in me and in them, like the dreams of Joseph, the righteous. But if they require curing, cure them like Hezekiah, king of Judah, [who was healed] from his sickness; like Miriam, the prophetess from her tsoraas;³⁹The word צָרַעַת should not be translated as leprosy. The illness of tsoraas described in the Torah has no relationship to the disease of leprosy. It is an illness which Hashem inflicts to show His displeasure with people. See Bamidbar 12:1-15. and like Naaman, from his tsoraas;⁴⁰See II Kings 5:1-14 like the waters of Marah through Moshe, our teacher,⁴¹See Shemos 15:22-25 and like the waters of Jericho through Elisha.⁴²See II Kings 2:19-22 As You transformed the curse of the wicked Bilaam, from a curse to a blessing,⁴³See Devarim 26:15 so may you transform all my dreams regarding myself and regarding all of Yisrael for goodness. [May You] guard me, [may You] be gracious to me, and [may You] accept me favorably, Amein.

Master of the World! I am Yours and my dreams are Yours. I have dreamed a dream and I do not know its meaning. May it be Your will, Adonoy, my God, and God of my fathers, that all my dreams regarding myself, and regarding all of Yisrael be for the good; those I have dreamed concerning myself, and those I have dreamed about others, and those that others have dreamed about me. If they are good dreams, strengthen and reinforce them and may they be fulfilled in me and in them, like the dreams of Joseph, the righteous.

Then Moses and the Children of Israel sang this song to Adonoy, and they said: I will sing to Adonoy for He is most high;⁵When people praise a mortal, they often declare undeserved praise. But God is so great that any praise we offer is insufficient.—Rashi the horse with its rider, He threw into the sea. The strength and retribution of God was the cause of my deliverance;⁶This translation follows Rashi's commentary. this is my Almighty and I will glorify Him, God of my father and I will exalt Him. Adonoy is master of war Adonoy is His Name. Pharaoh's chariots and army, He hurled into the sea; and his elite officers were drowned in the Sea of Reeds. The deep waters covered them; they descended into the depths like stone. Your right hand Adonoy is adorned with power, Your right hand Adonoy crushes the enemy. And in Your great majesty, You destroyed Your opponents; You sent forth Your fury, it consumed them like straw.⁷This verse is also translated, “You will send forth Your fury: it will consume them like straw.” According to the Zohar, it thus refers to the time of the Resurrection, when God will destroy all the wicked. And with the wind from Your nostrils the waters were heaped up, flowing water stood erect like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.⁸The water became hard as stone and the Egyptians were hurled against it with great force.—Rash i The enemy (Pharaoh) said: I will pursue [them], I will overtake [them], I will divide the spoils; I will satisfy myself; I will unsheathe my sword, my hand will destroy them. You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.⁹Seporno and others interpret the verse to read: “They, the mighty, sank like lead in the waters,” “mighty,” referring to the Egyptian officers rather than to the waters. Who is like You among the mighty, Adonoy! who is like You? [You are] adorned in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders.¹⁰God is “awesome in praise” for we fear that all our praise will prove inadequate. In truth, it is impossible to praise God fully, and David therefore said (Psalms 65:2) “For You, silence is praise.”—Rashi You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them. You led in Your kindliness, the people whom You redeemed; You guided them with Your might to Your holy dwelling place. The peoples heard and trembled, pangs of fear gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.¹¹The Philistines had killed the Ephraimites thirty years earlier when they left Egypt by force. The Philistines were thus gripped with terror when they heard that Israel had escaped from Egypt.—Rashi Then the chieftains of Edom panicked, the mighty men of Moab were seized with trembling, all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.¹²Nations on all sides panicked: The Philistines to the west, the Edomites to the south, the Moabites to the east and the Canaanites to the north. The Philistines feared revenge. The Edomites panicked because they feared that Israel would now seek revenge for what Esau (Edom) had done to Jacob. The Moabites, the descendants of Lot, feared they would be punished because of the dispute between Lot and Abraham (Genesis 13:7). Canaan “melted away” because they realized that Israel was destined to take their land, and their astrologers told them that there was no way out.—Rabbeinu Bachya Terror and dread fall upon them; at the greatness of Your arm they were still as stone; until Your people cross over, Adonoy, until [they] cross over,¹³The two crossings are the respective crossings of the Arnon and the Jordan rivers before entering the Promised Land.—Onkelos —the people You have acquired. You will bring them and plant them¹⁴Moses here prophesied that he would not be entering the Promised Land, and he therefore prayed that God should bring the Jews into His inheritance.— Rashi on the mountain of Your inheritance, the place for Your habitation which You, Adonoy, have made; the Sanctuary, my Master, [which] Your hands established.¹⁵God's “habitat” on earth, the Holy Temple, is a parallel of the Holy Temple on high.—Rashi Adonoy will reign forever and ever.¹⁶This verse is not repeated in Exodus. But it is repeated in prayer to signify the end of the Ode, just as the last verse of Psalms 150 is repeated in the prayer whereas it is not repeated in the Book of Psalms.—Avudraham Adonoy will reign forever and ever. Adonoy! His sovereignty is established forever and to all eternity.¹⁷This verse is a paraphrase of the previous verse as found in Targum Onkelos. When Pharaoh's horses, with his chariots, and his horsemen, went into the sea, Adonoy turned back on them the waters of the sea; and the Children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.¹⁸Exodus 14:30-15:19. For the kingship is Adonoy's and He rules over nations.¹⁹Psalms 22:29. The word “king” signifies one whose leadership is accepted freely by all his subjects. Therefore, in reference to Israel who willingly accept the Kingship of God, it says, “For the kingship is Adonoy's.” A “ruler,” however, is one who forcibly rules people, without their consent. Regarding the nations who do not willingly submit to Adonoy's Kingship, the Psalmist says, “And He rules over nations.”—Vilna Gaon And deliverers will go up to Mount Zion to judge Mount Esau, and the kingdom will be Adonoy's.²⁰Ovadyah 1:21. And Adonoy will be King over the whole earth; on that day Adonoy will be One and His Name One.²¹Zecharyah 14:9. In the future, God will be recognized by all the nations of the world who will accept Him willingly as their King.
