But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.
But I am the LORD your God, who split the sea in two while its waves crashed and thundered: The LORD of hosts is my name.
God is reminding His people that He is the same powerful God who parted the sea with its roaring waves, and His name is the LORD of hosts.
📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from a section where God is comforting the Jewish exiles in Babylon, reminding them of His power and faithfulness. The reference to dividing the sea likely recalls both God's creation of the world (separating the waters) and His miraculous parting of the Red Sea during the Exodus from Egypt. By invoking the title 'LORD of hosts,' God emphasizes His command over all heavenly and earthly armies.
