It gives all the glory to God and not to man. Moses isn’t even mentioned.

We were redeemed miraculously as well, and all the glory goes to God. We had nothing to do with it. God led us out of a hopeless situation by His mighty power.

3 Why is it necessary for God to be a warrior?

4 What attribute of God leads us through life?

Hesed - His merciful unfailing love.

5 What is the song we sing in heaven? Why?

8 How was the statute related to the test?

If they would listen to God and obey Him, then they would not be afflicted like the Egyptians and would know God as JHWH Rapha, the God who heals.

9 When does God become JHWH Rapha to us?

It is the same for us. If we will listen and obey then we do not need to the lessons of affliction. Tests will come our way, but we won’t need affliction to wake us up to our rebellion. Jesus became the healer of our soul when we received Him as Lord and Savior.

10 Which is better, hymns or choruses?

Both have their place as we see in the Song of Moses and Miriam’s chorus. One can be rich in theology while the other can express exuberant praise from the heart.
