Resurrection Hinted in the Words Moses Will Sing

Yalkut Shimoni on Torah 241:7

It is taught: Rabbi Meir says: From where do we learn the resurrection of the dead from the Torah? As it is said, "then sang Moses" - it does not say "sang" but "will sing"; therefore, the resurrection of the dead is from the Torah. Likewise you say, "then Joshua will build an altar" - it does not say "built" but "will build"; from here, the resurrection of the dead is from the Torah. On that day Rabbi Akiva expounded: "then Moses and the children of Israel sang" - since Scripture has no need to say "saying," it teaches that Israel were answering after Moses for each and every matter, as one recites the Hallel. Rabbi Nehemiah says: as one recites the Shema, and not as one recites the Hallel. Rabbi Akiva expounded: When Israel came up from the sea, they set their hearts to recite a song. And how did they recite it? Like a leader who reads out the Hallel and they answer after him with the chapter-openings: Moses said "I will sing to the LORD" and they said "I will sing to the LORD"; Moses said "for He is highly exalted" and they said "I will sing to the LORD," and so on. Rabbi Nehemiah says: like a scribe who leads the Shema in the synagogue, who opens first and they answer after him what he says. Rabbi Yose the Galilean expounded: When Israel came up from the sea, they set their hearts to recite a song. And how did they recite it? A babe lying on its mother's knees and an infant nursing at its mother's breast - when they saw the Divine Presence, the babe raised its neck and the infant let the breast drop from its mouth, and they said, "This is my God and I will glorify Him" (Exodus 15:2), as it is said, "out of the mouth of babes and sucklings You have founded strength" (Psalms 8:3). Rabbi Meir would say: From where do we learn that even the embryos in their mothers' wombs recited the song at the sea? As it is said, "in assemblies bless God, the Lord, you who are from the fountain of Israel."
