How Exodus 15 fits the whole book

Exodus tells how God hears the cry of His enslaved people, defeats the gods of Egypt, parts the sea, and brings Israel to Sinai to make them His own. It introduces redemption by blood (Passover) and the dwelling presence of God (tabernacle). Chapter 15 of Exodus contributes to this larger story by deepening one or more of the book's themes — for example, god's character and glory and sin, grace, and redemption.
