²³The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and cavalry followed them into the sea. ²⁴Just before dawn, the Lord looked down from the column of fire and smoke and threw the Egyptian camp into a panic. ²⁵He made the wheels of their chariots come off so that they could hardly move. Then the Egyptians shouted, “Let’s get out of here! The Lord is fighting for Israel! He’s against us!”

²⁶Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the water will flow back over the Egyptians, their chariots, and their cavalry.”

²⁷Moses stretched his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the water returned to its usual place. The Egyptians tried to escape, but the Lord swept them into the sea. ²⁸The water flowed back and covered Pharaoh’s entire army, as well as the chariots and the cavalry that had followed Israel into the sea. Not one of them survived.

²⁹Meanwhile, the Israelites had gone through the sea on dry ground while the water stood like a wall on their right and on their left. ³⁰That day the Lord saved Israel from the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the seashore.
