5:1 When all the Amorite kings on the west side of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the seacoast heard how the Lord had dried up the water of the Jordan before the Israelites while they ⁴  crossed, they lost their courage and could not even breathe for fear of the Israelites. ⁵ 

[15:14]  ¹ tn This verb is a prophetic perfect, assuming that the text means what it said and this song was sung at the Sea. So all these countries were yet to hear of the victory.

[5:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “their heart[s] melted and there was no longer in them breathe because of the sons of Israel.”
