1 When Israel came out of Egypt—when the house of Jacob came outfrom a people who spoke a different language—
2 Judah was God’s sanctuary;Israel was God’s territory.
3 The sea saw it happen and ran away;the Jordan River retreated!
4 The mountains leaped away like rams;the hills leaped away like lambs!
5 Sea, why did you run away?Jordan, why did you retreat?
