So...Another wonderful and interesting discussion. <br /><br />So much of the Torah reads like ancient near east praises of Kings and Gods. Some passages hark back to ancient near east myths of storm god’s defeat of sea god and building his palace/temple. Verse 14 Mentions Philistia suggesting at least part of song is early monarch period. The Lord as warrior was no different than another ancient peoples beliefs. <br /><br />Verse 7 - suggests fire. Another association of fire with the Lord - like Mt Sinai revelation, burning bush and so many others.
