Exodus 14:21-28

211Then Moses reached out with his hand over the sea; and the Lord 2swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into 3dry land, and 4the waters were divided. 22So 5the sons of Israel 6went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and 7the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left. 23Then 8the Egyptians took up the pursuit, and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea. 24But at the morning watch, 9the Lord looked down on the 10army of the Egyptians 11through the pillar of fire and cloud, and brought the 12army of the Egyptians into confusion. 25He 13caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians each said, “Let me flee from Israel, 14for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”

26Then the Lord said to Moses, “15Reach out with your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.” 27So Moses reached out with his hand over the sea, and 16the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing 17right into it; then the Lord 1819overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, Pharaoh’s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; 20not even one of them remained.
