- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Nam nubes castra eorum obumbrabat, et ex aqua quæ ante erat, terra arida apparuit, et in mari Rubro via sine impedimento, et campus germinans de profundo nimio :
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ἡ τὴν παρεμβολὴν σκιάζουσα νεφέλη, ἐκ δὲ προυφεστῶτος ὕδατος ξηρᾶς ἀνάδυσις γῆς ἐθεωρήθη, ἐξ ἐρυθρᾶς θαλάσσης ὁδὸς ἀνεμπόδιστος, καὶ χλοηφόρον πεδίον ἐκ κλύδωνος βιαίου·
Haydock's commentary
Field. Like a meadow, (Calmet) germinans, "growing grass." (Septuagint) (Haydock)
Pliny ([Natural History?] xiii. 25.) attests, that "the Red Sea, and all the eastern ocean, are full of wood." The Hebrews passed with as much ease as in a desert, (Psalm cv. 9., and Isaias lxiii. 13.) or place of pasture, while the sea seemed to be in quest of other channels. (Calmet) (Genesis i. 9.) (Haydock)
