Exodus 14:22-26

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²² and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with the waters like a wall to them on their right and their left.^(A)

²³ The Egyptians set out in pursuit—all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen—and went into the sea after them. ²⁴ Then during the morning watch, the Lord looked down on the Egyptian forces from the pillar of fire^(B) and cloud, and threw them into confusion. ²⁵ He caused their chariot wheels to swerve^[a][b] and made them drive^[c] with difficulty. “Let’s get away from Israel,” the Egyptians said, “because Yahweh is fighting for them against Egypt!”

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