Exodus 14 describes the miraculous moment when the Israelites were trapped between the impassable waters of the Red Sea in front of them and Pharaoh's advancing army behind them. Panic gripped the people, but Moses proclaimed words of divine assurance.
The Strong East Wind and Dry Ground
God commanded Moses to stretch out his staff over the sea. All through the night, the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind, dividing the waters into walls on their right and left. Millions of Israelites walked across the sea floor on dry ground!
Total Deliverance and Victory
When the Egyptian army pursued them into the sea bed, God told Moses to stretch his hand out again. The waters rushed back, covering Pharaoh's chariots and horsemen, demonstrating that the Lord alone is God over heaven and earth.
