Charles Ellicott Commentary Exodus 15:11-12

"Who is like unto thee, O Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, The earth swallowed them." — Exodus 15:11-12 (ASV)

Stanza 3 is a short one, entering into no details—simply summing up the entire result in two sentences: one, parallel to Exodus 15:2-3; Exodus 15:6–7, setting forth the glory of God, as shown in the occurrences; the other emphasizing the great fact of the occasion, and stating it in the briefest possible terms: Thou stretchedst out thy right hand; the earth swallowed them. This second clause is parallel to Exodus 15:4-5; Exodus 15:8–10. It concentrates into four words the gist of those two passages.
