You led in Your kindliness, the people whom You redeemed; You guided them with Your might to Your holy dwelling place.
נָטִֽיתָ יְמִינְ֒ךָ תִּבְלָעֵֽמוֹ אָֽרֶץ
You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
Explaining the Medrash.. What is it doing here?
Abba Ḥanan says: The verse states: “Who is strong like You, O Lord?” (Psalms 89:9). Who is strong and indurate like You, as You hear the abuse and the blasphemy of that wicked man and remain silent. Similarly, the school of Rabbi Yishmael taught that the verse: “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods [elim]” (Exodus 15:11), should be read as: Who is like You among the mute [ilmim], for You conduct Yourself like a mute and remain silent in the face of Your blasphemers.
מִֽי־כָמֹ֤כָה בָּֽאֵלִם֙ הֹ מִ֥י כָּמֹ֖כָה נֶאְדָּ֣ר בַּקֹּ֑דֶשׁ
נָשַׁ֥פְתָּ בְרוּחֲךָ֖ כִּסָּ֣מוֹ יָ֑ם צָֽלְלוּ֙ כַּֽעוֹפֶ֔רֶת בְּמַ֖יִם אַדִּירִֽים׃
You made Your wind blow, the sea covered them;
They sank like lead in the powerful waters.
Or is it
They sank like lead in the waters, The powerful ones'.
אָמַ֥ר אוֹיֵ֛ב אֶרְדֹּ֥ף אַשִּׂ֖יג אֲחַלֵּ֣ק שָׁלָ֑ל תִּמְלָאֵ֣מוֹ נַפְשִׁ֔י אָרִ֣יק חַרְבִּ֔י תּוֹרִישֵׁ֖מוֹ יָדִֽי׃
The foe said, “I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;
My desire shall have its fill of them. I will bare my sword—
My hand shall subdue them.”
Doesn't one forst conquer and then divide spoils?
וּבְר֤וּחַ אַפֶּ֙יךָ֙ נֶ֣עֶרְמוּ מַ֔יִם נִצְּב֥וּ כְמוֹ־נֵ֖ד נֹזְלִ֑ים קָֽפְא֥וּ תְהֹמֹ֖ת בְּלֶב־יָֽם
׃ At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up,
The floods stood straight like a wall;
The deeps froze in the heart of the sea.
וּבְרֹ֥ב גְּאוֹנְךָ֖ תַּהֲרֹ֣ס קָמֶ֑יךָ תְּשַׁלַּח֙ חֲרֹ֣נְךָ֔ יֹאכְלֵ֖מוֹ כַּקַּֽשׁ׃
In Your great triumph You break Your opponents;
You send forth Your fury, it consumes them like straw.
Understanding the Concept of Yamin as in קץ הימין does it refer to the Right or the end of Yamim, meaning Days
יְמִינְ֒ךָ הֹ נֶאְדָּרִי בַּכֹּֽחַ יְמִֽינְ֒ךָ הֹ תִּרְעַץ אוֹיֵב:
Your right hand Hashem is adorned with power, Your right hand Hashem crushes the enemy
Does Hashem have two 'Right Hands'?
