14:23 The Egyptians chased them and followed them into the middle of the sea – all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen. 14:24 In the morning watch ³  the Lord looked down ⁴  on the Egyptian army ⁵  through the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw the Egyptian army ⁶  into a panic. ⁷  14:25 He jammed ⁸  the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving, ⁹  and the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee ¹⁰  from Israel, for the Lord fights ¹¹  for them against Egypt!”

14:26 The Lord said to Moses, “Extend your hand toward the sea, so that the waters may flow ¹²  back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen!” 14:27 So Moses extended his hand toward the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state ¹³  when the sun began to rise. ¹⁴  Now the Egyptians were fleeing ¹⁵  before it, but the Lord overthrew ¹⁶  the Egyptians in the middle of the sea. 14:28 The water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen and all the army of Pharaoh that was coming after the Israelites into the sea ¹⁷  – not so much as one of them survived! ¹⁸  14:29 But the Israelites walked on dry ground in the middle of the sea, the water forming a wall for them on their right and on their left. 14:30 So the Lord saved ¹⁹  Israel on that day from the power ²⁰  of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead ²¹  on the shore of the sea. 14:31 When Israel saw ²²  the great power ²³  that the Lord had exercised ²⁴  over the Egyptians, they ²⁵  feared the Lord, and they believed in ²⁶  the Lord and in his servant Moses. ²⁷
