The channels

And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and Yahweh carried away the sea by a mighty east wind all the night, and turned the sea into dry land, - and the waters were cloven asunder.

And with the blast of thy nostrils, heaped up are the waters, Upreared like a mound, are the flowing waves, - Roaring deeps are congealed in the heart of the sea.

Then appeared the channels of waters, were uncovered the foundations of the world, - At thy rebuke O Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;

Rebuking

And with the blast of thy nostrils, heaped up are the waters, Upreared like a mound, are the flowing waves, - Roaring deeps are congealed in the heart of the sea.

And said - Hitherto, shalt thou come, and no further, - and, here, shalt thou set a limit to the majesty of thy waves?

So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land;

Who rebuketh the sea and hath made it dry, and, all the streams, hath he dried up, - withered are Bashan and Carmel, Even the bloom of Lebanon, is withered:

Against the rivers, is Yahweh wroth? Against the rivers, is thine anger? Against the sea, is thine indignation? For thou wilt ride on Thy horses, Thy chariots, shall be salvation!

And he saith unto them, Why, are ye, fearful, little of faith? Then, aroused, he rebuked the winds and the sea, - and it became a great calm.

There went up a smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, - live coals, were kindled from it:

Wherefore, O God, hast thou cast off utterly? Shall thine anger smoke against the flock of thine own pasturing?
