²²And the Israelites^p entered the middle of the sea on the dry land. The waters were a wall for them on their right and on their left. ²³And the Egyptians gave chase^q and entered after them—all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his charioteers—into the middle of the sea. ²⁴And during the morning watch, Yahweh looked down to the Egyptian camp from in the column of fire and cloud, and he threw the Egyptian camp into a panic. ²⁵And he removed^r the wheels of their chariots so that they drove them with difficulty, and the Egyptians said, “We must flee away^s from Israel because Yahweh is fighting for them against Egypt.”

²⁶And Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, and let the waters return over the Egyptians, over their chariots, and over their charioteers.” ²⁷And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned at daybreak^t to its normal level, and the Egyptians were fleeing because of it,^u and Yahweh swept the Egyptians into the middle of the sea. ²⁸And the waters returned and covered the chariots and the charioteers—all the army of Pharaoh coming after them into the sea. Not even^v one survived among them. ²⁹But the Israelites^w walked on the dry land in the middle of the sea. The waters were a wall for them on their right and on their left. ³⁰And Yahweh saved Israel on that day from the hand^x of Egypt, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea.
