Exodus 15

Exodus 15 read aloud, in a fresh direct translation from the Hebrew — plain modern English, nothing added. Translator's notes: • Exodus 15:2 — עָזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ (ozzi vezimrat Yah): chose "My strength and song is Adonai". Alternatives: My strength and song is Yah. Why: the short form Yah as the divine name is rendered Adonai by the standing rule. • Exodus 15:11 — בָּאֵלִם (ba'elim): chose "among the divine beings". Alternatives: among the gods. Why: elim is rendered as divine beings, with the Hebrew noted once per chapter. • Exodus 15:17 — אֲדֹנָי (Adonai): chose "my Lord". Alternatives: the Lord. Why: where the Hebrew itself has Adonai, it is rendered "my Lord"; here it stands alone, not followed by the divine name.
