Lexicon :: Strong's H1234 - bāqaʿ

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD swept the sea back by a strong east wind all that night and turned the seabed into dry land, and the waters were divided.

As soon as Moses finished speaking all these words, the ground under them split open;

After these things and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah and besieged the fortified cities, intending to take them for himself.

“You divided the sea before them,

So that they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land;

You hurled their pursuers into the depths,

Like a stone into mighty and raging waters.

“He wraps the waters in His clouds [which otherwise would spill on earth all at once],

And the cloud does not burst under them.

“He cuts out channels and passages among the rocks;

And his eye sees every precious thing.

“My belly is like unvented wine;

Like new wineskins it is about to burst.

You broke open fountains and streams;

You dried up ever-flowing rivers.

He divided the [Red] Sea and allowed them to pass through it,

And He made the waters stand up like [water behind] a dam.

He split rocks in the wilderness

And gave them abundant [water to] drink like the ocean depths.

As when the one plows and breaks open the ground [and the soil scatters behind him],

Our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol [by the injustices of the wicked].

By His knowledge the deeps were broken up

And the clouds drip with dew.

There the arrow snake will make her nest and lay her eggs,

And hatch them and gather her young under her protection;

Indeed, the birds of prey will be gathered there [to breed],

Every one with its own kind.

Then the lame will leap like a deer,

And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy.

For waters will break forth in the wilderness

And streams in the desert.

They did not thirst when He led them through the deserts.

He made the waters flow out of the rock for them;

He split the rock and the waters flowed.

“Then your light will break out like the dawn,

And your healing (restoration, new life) will quickly spring forth;

Your righteousness will go before you [leading you to peace and prosperity],

The glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s webs;

He who eats of their eggs dies,

And from an egg which is crushed a viper breaks out.

Who caused His glorious arm and infinite power to go at the right hand of Moses,

Dividing the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,

“When they (Israel) grasped you (Egypt) by the hand,

You broke and tore apart their hands;

When they leaned on you,

You broke and strained their backs.”

“I will set fire to Egypt;

Pelusium will writhe in [great] anguish,

Thebes shall be torn open

And Memphis shall be in daily distress.

I will encounter them like a bear robbed of her cubs,

And I will tear open their chests;

There I will also devour them like a lioness,

As a wild beast would tear them.

Samaria will be found guilty [and become desolate],

Because she rebelled against her God;

They will fall by the sword,

Their infants will be dashed in pieces,

And their pregnant women will be ripped open.

Thus says the LORD,

“For three transgressions of the children of [fn]Ammon and for four (multiplied delinquencies)

I will not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it,

Because the Ammonites have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead,

That they might enlarge their border.

The mountains shall melt under Him

And the valleys shall be split

Like wax before the fire,

Like waters poured down a steep place.

Your bow was made bare;

The rods of chastisement were sworn. Selah (pause, calmly think of that).

You split the earth with rivers [bringing waters to dry places].
