Exodus 14:13-16

13Then Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid! Be brave! You will see how the Lord will save you today. Look at the Egyptians over there. You will never see them again!

14The Lord will fight for you. You will only have to watch.’

15Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Do not continue to call to me for help! Tell the Israelites to move on.

16You yourself must do this: Lift up your stick and hold your hand out over the sea. The water will become two separate parts. Then the Israelites can cross through the middle of the sea on dry ground.
