Exodus 15:21

And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

And Miriam answered them,.... The men, for the word is masculine; that is, repeated, and sung the same song word for word after them, as they had done, of which a specimen is given by reciting the first clause of the song:

Sing ye to the LORD; which is by way of exhortation to the women to sing with her, as Moses begins the song thus: "I will sing unto the Lord",

for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea; See Gill on "Exodus 15:1", the manner of their singing, according to the Jews {z}, was, Moses first said, "I will sing", and they said it after him.


{z} T. Hieros. Sotah, fol. 20. 3. T. Bab. Sotah, fol. 30. 2.
