God's Decisive Power on Display
Commentators emphasize that the destruction of the Egyptian army was a direct and forceful act of God, not a random accident. The song uses vivid language like "cast" or "hurled" to describe the action. Scholars like Albert Barnes note that the heavy bronze armor of the Egyptian captains would have caused them to sink instantly "as a stone," highlighting the sudden and total nature of God's judgment.
