Bp. Patrick.-Went out with an high hand.] Boldly and with assured confidence; not sneakingly, like slaves or fugitives. So Onkelos understood it, when he translated it bareheaded, i.e., confidently, fearing nothing; having been delivered and conducted by the powerful hand of God, as it is often repeated (xiii. 9, 14, 16), unto which some refer this phrase, and not to the Israelites (see Drusius, lib. xvi.; Observat., cap. 2).

The cloud placed in the rear hid the army of the Israelites in the day time, and, in the night, presented a line of fire to the pursuers, which they durst not attempt to penetrate.

Rosen. Et fuit nubes, et tenebræ, scil. Egyptiis, uti recte Onkelos addit, et illuminavit noctem, scil. Israelitis, eodem illo interprete addente. Ita et Jonathan et paraphrastes Hierosolymitanus: fuit nubes partim lucida, et partim tenebricosa; ex una parte tenebrosa fuit Ægyptiis, ex altera lucida Israelitis. Consentit Symmachus: καὶ ἦν ἡ νεφέλη σκότος μὲν ἐκεῖθεν, φαίνουσα δὲ ἐντεῦθεν.

ἐξέτεινε δὲ Μωυσῆς τὴν χεῖρα ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν. καὶ ὑπήγαγε κύριος τὴν θάλασσαν ἐν ἀνέμῳ νότῳ βιαίῳ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα, καὶ ἐποίησε τὴν θάλασσαν ξηράν. καὶ ἐσχίσθη τὸ ὕδωρ.

Bp. Horsley.—— "it was a cloud and darkness [to them] but it gave light by night [to these]." Nothing about "them and "these" in the original. The Hebrew words might be thus rendered "And lib. i., cap. 15). though it was a cloud and darkness [i.e., a

were divided.] Or rather, after the waters were divided, as Bochart shows it should be translated. Thus Isa. lxiv. 5, "Thou art wroth, and we have sinned;" the meaning is, "for we have sinned," as Kimchi, and we ourselves also there translate it (Hierozoic., par. ii., lib. iii., cap. 2, p. 409).

3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
