And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting^(D) for them against Egypt.”^(E)

²⁶ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” ²⁷ Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place.^(F) The Egyptians were fleeing toward^[b] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.^{(G) 28} The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.^(H) Not one of them survived.^(I)

²⁹ But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,^(J) with a wall^(K) of water on their right and on their left. ³⁰ That day the Lord saved^(L) Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore. ³¹ And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand^(M) of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared^(N) the Lord and put their trust^(O) in him and in Moses his servant.

²⁹ By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.^(A)
