Keluaran 14:9

14:9 The Egyptians chased after them, and all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-Zephon.

Ulangan 32:31

32:31 For our enemies’ ¹  rock is not like our Rock,

as even our enemies concede.

Ulangan 32:1

Invocation of Witnesses

32:1 Listen, O heavens, and I will speak;

hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

1 Samuel 2:2

2:2 No one is holy ²  like the Lord!

There is no one other than you!

There is no rock ³  like our God!

[32:31]  ¹ tn Heb “their,” but the referent (enemies) is specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.

[2:2]  ² sn In this context God’s holiness refers primarily to his sovereignty and incomparability. He is unique and distinct from all other so-called gods.

[2:2]  ³ tn The LXX has “and there is none righteous like our God.” The Hebrew term translated “rock” refers to a rocky cliff where one can seek refuge from enemies. Here the metaphor depicts God as a protector of his people. Cf. TEV “no protector like our God”; CEV “We’re safer with you than on a high mountain.”
