Bible Note: Hi Emmaus, I don't know if you were asking to tell you what the first song was or check out what you posted as the first song. At any rate, here is the first song recorded in the Bible: Exodus 15:1 Sung by Moses and the men of Israel, to which Miriam and the women responded, upon their deliverance at the Red Sea. 15 At that time Moses and the sons of Israel proceeded to sing this song to Jehovah and to say the following: “Let me sing to Jehovah, for he has become highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has pitched into the sea. 2 My strength and [my] might is Jah, since he serves for my salvation. This is my God, and I shall laud him; my father’s God, and I shall raise him on high. 3 Jehovah is a manly person of war. Jehovah is his name. 4 Phar´aoh’s chariots and his military forces he has cast into the sea, And the choice of his warriors have been sunk in the Red Sea. 5 The surging waters proceeded to cover them; down they went into the depths like a stone. 6 Your right hand, O Jehovah, is proving itself powerful in ability, Your right hand, O Jehovah, can shatter an enemy. 7 And in the abundance of your superiority you can throw down those who rise up against you; You send out your burning anger, it eats them up like stubble. 8 And by a breath from your nostrils waters were heaped up; They stood still like a dam of floods; The surging waters were congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said, ‘I shall pursue! I shall overtake! I shall divide spoil! My soul will be filled with them! I shall draw my sword! My hand will drive them away!’ 10 You blew with your breath, the sea covered them; They sank like lead in majestic waters. 11 Who among the gods is like you, O Jehovah? Who is like you, proving yourself mighty in holiness? The One to be feared with songs of praise, the One doing marvels. 12 You stretched out your right hand, the earth proceeded to swallow them up. 13 You in your loving-kindness have led the people whom you have recovered; You in your strength will certainly conduct them to your holy abiding place. 14 Peoples must hear, they will be agitated; Birth pangs must take hold on the inhabitants of Phi·lis´ti·a. 15 At that time the sheiks of E´dom will indeed be disturbed; As for the despots of Mo´ab, trembling will take hold on them. All the inhabitants of Ca´naan will indeed be disheartened. 16 Fright and dread will fall upon them. Because of the greatness of your arm they will be motionless like a stone, Until your people pass by, O Jehovah, Until the people whom you have produced pass by. 17 You will bring them and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, An established place that you have made ready for you to inhabit, O Jehovah, A sanctuary, O Jehovah, that your hands have established. 18 Jehovah will rule as king to time indefinite, even forever. 19 When Phar´aoh’s horses with his war chariots and his cavalrymen went into the sea, Then Jehovah brought back the waters of the sea upon them, While the sons of Israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea.” Does it agree with yours?
