## translationNotes

* In these verses, the Levites continue to praise Yahweh in the presence of the people of Israel.
* **And you divided the sea** - Here "you" refers to God. The Levites are telling the story of the Exodus from Egypt.  (See: [[en:bible:notes:exo:14:21]])
* **divided** - "ripped open" or "split open"
* **you...threw those who pursued them into the depths, as a stone into deep waters** - In this simile, the writer describes God throwing the Egyptians into the sea as a person would throw a stone into water.  (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_simile]])
