	The Song of Moses

		They now became free men, for until their [masters'] death, the Israelites were considered runaway slaves."

		The Song of Moses, Exodus 15:1-18, is located around the middle of the book of Exodus, and occurs after one of the most foundational narratives of the Hebrew Bible.
		The song serves as a kind of transition between the miraculous events that have just occurred, and what is coming next, the journey of the Israelites through the wilderness, as they prepare to enter the Promised Land.
		As the song is nestled between the escape from Egypt and the wandering in the wilderness toward the Promised Land, this transitional narrative is a key part of the poem itself.

		Unlike the earlier song of praise to the LORD for the great miracle of redemption, this song functions as a “witness” to testify against the Israelites, and is intended to prophetically teach the people about the dire consequences of apostasy from the LORD.
		Moses begins his song by calling upon the heavens and the earth to be witnesses to his warnings.
		Despite the calamities and misfortunes the Jews would suffer in their long exile, the song ends with the promise that the LORD would avenge the blood of His servants and be finally reconciled with his chosen people and land.

		This song of Moses will be sung by the victorious saints, when the Spirit's omnipotence aiding them shall have led forth in His goodness the people whom He hath redeemed; and shall have conducted them in His might to the habitation of His holiness.

		Moses was instructed to write out that Song, teach it to the Israelites and ‘put it their mouths’ (31:19) — make it part of their understanding and instant oral recall — they should know it by heart.
		The Song will strongly affect (storm winds) some people to the very core of their entire systems (vegetation) — it will give them an entire philosophy of life, causing him to make the Torah teachings the very core of his being.
		Thus the reason that the Song brings Deuteronomy to its near conclusion is that — by merit of its poetic and lyrical form - it consolidates the values contained in its main body of that Book.

	The word tsur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		By the time of David, whilst many of the themes and ideas of the Song of Moses are recapitulated, the use of tsûr as a generic reference to deity had almost vanished.
		Another concentration is found in David's song of 2 Samuel 22 (and Psalm 18, which is parallel to David's Song), in which many of the same themes and phrases appear.
		The Song of David / Psalm 18 references quoted are rhetorical affirmations of the absolute supremacy of Yahweh, rather than comparisons of the relative strength of Yahweh and other gods.
