Habakkuk3:15

15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses o through the heap p of great waters .

O God▪ or thou O Israel, notwithstanding all Plots and Opposition.

Heldest on thy way, and walkedst from thy entring on the East of the Land, to the West thereof; from Bethel, Iordan, and Iericho on the East where they entred the Land that lay within Iordan.

Rather to, (as I. Tr. and Gr[illegible: 1 letter].) the most Western parts of all the Land God gave, they took possession from East to West, to the great Sea. The Western Sea, the mightiest Sea the Iews of that time knew, called here by way of Eminency the heap of great Waters.

Called Ezek. 47.10, 15, 19, 20. the great Sea, as Iosh. 9.1. so was fulfilled what was promised, and they took possession of that was estated on them, Iosh. 1.3, 4. I rather refer this 15th verse in this manner, then with most Interpreters to the Red Sea, which is to me a repetition unseemly for so short and elegant an enumeration of Gods wonderful deliverances, and blessings to Israel, from their leaving Egypt, to their setling in Canaan.
