⁶ When I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and you reached the Red Sea,^(A) the Egyptians pursued your ancestors with chariots and horsemen as far as the sea.

⁷ Your ancestors cried out to the Lord, so he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea over them, engulfing them. Your own eyes saw what I did to Egypt. After that, you lived in the wilderness a long time.
