John Trapp Complete Commentary

Exodus 15:13

Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which] thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

Ver. 13. Unto thy holy habitation.] Canaan, where God chose to dwell. This he is said already to have done, because he would certainly do it. God's promises are his performances, and every former mercy a pledge of a future.
