Exodus 14:23

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and ^amade the sea into dry land, and the waters were ^bdivided.

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.”

26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”

27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea ^areturned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord ^boverthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

28 Then ^athe waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained.

29 But ^athe children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

30 So the Lord ^asaved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel ^bsaw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
