22 So ^athe children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were ^ba wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

24 Now it came to pass, in the morning ^awatch, that ^bthe Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He¹ troubled the army of the Egyptians.

25 And He¹ took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord ^afights for them against the Egyptians.”
