Exodus 14:22–30

²²and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with the waters like a wall to them on their right and their left.^g

²³The Egyptians set out in pursuit—all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen—and went into the sea after them. ²⁴During the morning watch, the Lord looked down at the Egyptian forces from the pillar of fire^h and cloud, and threw the Egyptian forces into confusion. ²⁵He caused their chariot wheels to swerve^AB and made them drive^C with difficulty. “Let’s get away from Israel,” the Egyptians said, “because the Lord is fighting for them against Egypt!”

²⁶Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the water may come back on the Egyptians, on their chariots and horsemen.” ²⁷So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal depth. While the Egyptians were trying to escape from it, the Lord threw them into the sea.^{i 28}The water came back and covered the chariots^j and horsemen, plus the entire army of Pharaoh that had gone after them into the sea. Not even one of them survived.

²⁹But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with the waters like a wall to them on their right and their left. ³⁰That day the Lord saved Israel from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
