Isaiah 63:13 → Psalm 106:9

Isaiah 63:13 recalls God leading Israel "through the depths" (בַּתְּהֹמוֹת, batehomot) so they "did not stumble," and Psalm 106:9 recounts the same event: "He rebuked (גָּעַר, ga'ar) the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths (תְּהֹמוֹת, tehomot) as through a desert." Both texts use the identical noun tehomot to describe the sea-floor passage and both emphasize the ease of the crossing — Isaiah with the horse-in-wilderness simile, Psalm 106 with the desert comparison. The shared vocabulary places these texts in a broader tradition of exodus recital literature, where Israel's liturgical memory of the sea-crossing uses fixed formulations. However, their contexts diverge: Psalm 106 immediately turns to Israel's rebellion despite the miracle, while Isaiah 63 uses the memory to petition God for a new act of deliverance.
