verse, the people repeated it, and linked the second complementary
part to it. So Moses began with the half verse, "I will sing unto the
Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously," whereupon the people
answered, "The horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea."
And in this wise developed the whole song. [63]

But not alone the adults took part in this song, even the sucklings
dropped their mothers' breasts to join in singing; yea, even the
embryos in the womb joined the melody, and the angels' voices
swelled the song. [64] God so distinguished Israel during the
passage through the Red Sea, that even the children beheld His
glory, yea, even the woman slave saw more of the presence of God
by the Red Sea than the Prophet Ezekiel was ever permitted to
behold. [65]

They closed the song with the words: "Let us set the crown of glory
upon the head of our Deliverer, who suffers all things to perish,
but does not Himself decay, who changes all things, but is Himself
unchanged. His is the diadem of sovereignty, for He is the King of
kings in this world, and His is the sovereignty of the world to
come; it is His and will be His in all eternity." [66] Thereupon
Moses spake to Israel, "Ye have seen all the signs, all miracles and
works of glory that the Holy One, blessed be He, hath wrought for
you, but even more will He do for you in the world to come; for
not like unto this world is the world of the hereafter; for in this
world war and suffering, evil inclination, Satan, and the Angel of
Death hold sway; but in the future would, there will be neither
suffering nor enmity, neither Satan nor the Angel of Death, neither
groans nor oppression, nor evil inclination." [67]
