Proposed merge with Az Yashir Moshe[edit]

Merge Chesdovi (talk) 02:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge since the articles are on the same subjects. A Google search on "song of the sea" got about 123,000 ghits while "song of the sea" and bible got only about 9540 ghits. It doesn't look like the phrase "Song of the Sea" typically refers to this biblical passage, so not clear that this should be the correct article title. However "az yashir moshe" got only 913 ghits. Wondering if there's a more commonly-used title out there. Best, --Shirahadasha (talk) 07:18, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge done to here, and it's a no-brainer. All material from Az Yashir Moshe was incorporated into this article. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 08:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge from Exodus 15.1-15.18[edit]

Ex. 15:1-18 IS the Song of the Sea and I don't think there needs to be a second article that is on the exact same topic. Valley2city^‽ 20:37, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Singing[edit]

"Most Jewish communities sing this poem on 21 Nisan, the seventh day of Passover." Really? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 05:21, 14 January 2020 (UTC) "The following settings exist for the Song of the Sea in the Protestant tradition[reply]

Mirjams Siegesgesang (Miriam's Song of Triumph), Op. 136, D. 942 by Franz Schubert"

And what basis is there for claiming this work as part of the Protestant tradition? Schubert came from a Roman Catholic family, and was so baptised, though his practice is unclear. The work has been considered one of Schubert's so-called "Jewish" works. See Lily E. Hirsch, "The Berlin 'Jüdischer Kulturbund' and the "After-Life" of Franz Schubert: Musical Appropriation and Identity Politics in Nazi Germany," The Musical Quarterly, Oxford University Press, Fall - Winter, 2007, Vol. 90, No. 3/4 (Fall - Winter, 2007), pp. 469-507.DET (talk) 16:10, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The conquest bit[edit]

I'm going to be real as someone who studied this section for their bar mitzvah its textual and its a big part of the following sections of Exodus. 93.238.206.164 (talk) 22:51, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it just sounds misleading the way it’s written. The Egyptians had been enslaving and killing the Jews, who were running for their freedom and being chased by the Egyptians who were trying to kill them. When they got to the other side, they were celebrating not only being alive but being free after years of slavery and oppression. They’re not celebrating the killing of people and their future conquests. 128.12.123.152 (talk) 02:31, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

all of this is pious fiction. and no, burning bushes cannot speak. 88.72.189.147 (talk) 02:35, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you are using entheogens, you may have strange visions. Discussing with plants may not be out of the question. Dimadick (talk) 12:24, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete transliteration[edit]

Why is Yahweh spelled YHWH? This is violating NPOV. Religious taboos must not be respected by an encyclopedia. 88.72.189.147 (talk) 02:34, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
