He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.

And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness.

And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

By his word the Red Sea was made dry: and he took them through the deep waters as through the waste land.

He rebuked the Red Sea also - The word rendered "rebuke" commonly means to chide - as when one is angry with another for having done wrong. Here it is evidently a poetic term, meaning that he spake "as if" he were angry; or "as if" the Red Sea did wrong in presenting an obstacle or obstruction to the passage of his people. Compare Exodus 14:21-22,
So he led them through the depths - Through what had been the abyss; what had seemed to be depths, being covered with water.
As through the wilderness - As through a desert or dry place; as he afterward led them through the wilderness. The waters parted asunder, and made a way for them.

He rebuked the Red Sea - In the descriptions of the psalmist every thing has life. The sea is an animated being, behaves itself proudly, is rebuked, and retires in confusion.

He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up,.... By sending a strong east wind, which drove the waters back, and made the sea a dry land, Exodus 14:21.
So he led them through the depths; that is, the deep waters of the sea, which were cast up as an heap, and stood as a wall on each side, through which they passed.
As through the wilderness; or rather, "as on a plain"; for a passage through a wilderness where no roads are, and many obstructions be, is not easy; and so it is manifestly to be understood in Isaiah 63:13, where Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it a plain and smooth ground, a champaign country; and so the word is used for a plain, in opposition to mountains, in Jeremiah 9:10, and then the sense is, that God led them through the sea, being dried up, as if they were led through a plain and open country, where was nothing to obstruct their march; an emblem of baptism, 1-Corinthians 10:1, and of the passage of the people of God through this world; See Gill on Psalm 78:13.

rebuked-- (Psalm 104:7).
as through the wilderness-- (Isaiah 63:11-14).

Led them - As securely as if they had walked upon the dry land.
