Hebrews 11:29
New International Version
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)
Psalm 106:9-11
New International Version
Exodus 14:13-15:21
New International Version
13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid.(A) Stand firm and you will see(B) the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see(C) again. 14 The Lord will fight(D) for you; you need only to be still.”(E)
15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me?(F) Tell the Israelites to move on. 16 Raise your staff(G) and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water(H) so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 17 I will harden the hearts(I) of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them.(J) And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. 18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord(K) when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”
19 Then the angel of God,(L) who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud(M) also moved from in front and stood behind(N) them, 20 coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness(O) to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand(P) over the sea,(Q) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind(R) and turned it into dry land.(S) The waters were divided,(T) 22 and the Israelites went through the sea(U) on dry ground,(V) with a wall(W) of water on their right and on their left.
23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen(X) followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud(Y) at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.(Z) 25 He jammed[a] the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting(AA) for them against Egypt.”(AB)
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.(AC) The Egyptians were fleeing toward[b] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.(AD) 28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.(AE) Not one of them survived.(AF)
29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,(AG) with a wall(AH) of water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved(AI) 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(AJ) of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared(AK) the Lord and put their trust(AL) in him and in Moses his servant.
The Song of Moses and Miriam
15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song(AM) to the Lord:
“I will sing(AN) to the Lord,
for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver(AO)
he has hurled into the sea.(AP)
2 “The Lord is my strength(AQ) and my defense[c];
he has become my salvation.(AR)
He is my God,(AS) and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt(AT) him.
3 The Lord is a warrior;(AU)
the Lord is his name.(AV)
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army(AW)
he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
are drowned in the Red Sea.[d]
5 The deep waters(AX) have covered them;
they sank to the depths like a stone.(AY)
6 Your right hand,(AZ) Lord,
was majestic in power.
Your right hand,(BA) Lord,
shattered(BB) the enemy.
7 “In the greatness of your majesty(BC)
you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;(BD)
it consumed(BE) them like stubble.
8 By the blast of your nostrils(BF)
the waters piled up.(BG)
The surging waters stood up like a wall;(BH)
the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.(BI)
9 The enemy boasted,
‘I will pursue,(BJ) I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;(BK)
I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
and my hand will destroy them.’
10 But you blew with your breath,(BL)
and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
in the mighty waters.(BM)
11 Who among the gods
is like you,(BN) Lord?
Who is like you—
majestic in holiness,(BO)
awesome in glory,(BP)
working wonders?(BQ)
12 “You stretch out(BR) your right hand,
and the earth swallows your enemies.(BS)
13 In your unfailing love you will lead(BT)
the people you have redeemed.(BU)
In your strength you will guide them
to your holy dwelling.(BV)
14 The nations will hear and tremble;(BW)
anguish(BX) will grip the people of Philistia.(BY)
15 The chiefs(BZ) of Edom(CA) will be terrified,
the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,(CB)
the people[e] of Canaan will melt(CC) away;
16 terror(CD) and dread will fall on them.
By the power of your arm
they will be as still as a stone(CE)—
until your people pass by, Lord,
until the people you bought[f](CF) pass by.(CG)
17 You will bring(CH) them in and plant(CI) them
on the mountain(CJ) of your inheritance—
the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling,(CK)
the sanctuary,(CL) Lord, your hands established.
18 “The Lord reigns
for ever and ever.”(CM)
19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen[g] went into the sea,(CN) the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.(CO) 20 Then Miriam(CP) the prophet,(CQ) Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels(CR) and dancing.(CS) 21 Miriam sang(CT) to them:

New International Version
8 Were you angry with the rivers,(A) Lord?
Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea(B)
when you rode your horses
and your chariots to victory?(C)
9 You uncovered your bow,
you called for many arrows.(D)
You split the earth with rivers;
10 the mountains saw you and writhed.(E)
Torrents of water swept by;
the deep roared(F)
and lifted its waves(G) on high.
Isaiah 63:11-16
New International Version
11 Then his people recalled[a] the days of old,
the days of Moses and his people—
where is he who brought them through the sea,(A)
with the shepherd of his flock?(B)
Where is he who set
his Holy Spirit(C) among them,
12 who sent his glorious arm(D) of power
to be at Moses’ right hand,
who divided the waters(E) before them,
to gain for himself everlasting renown,(F)
13 who led(G) them through the depths?(H)
Like a horse in open country,
they did not stumble;(I)
14 like cattle that go down to the plain,
they were given rest(J) by the Spirit of the Lord.
This is how you guided your people
to make for yourself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven(K) and see,
from your lofty throne,(L) holy and glorious.
Where are your zeal(M) and your might?
Your tenderness and compassion(N) are withheld(O) from us.
16 But you are our Father,(P)
though Abraham does not know us
or Israel acknowledge(Q) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
our Redeemer(R) from of old is your name.

10 Was it not you who dried up the sea,(G)
the waters of the great deep,(H)
who made a road in the depths of the sea(I)
so that the redeemed(J) might cross over?

He will break it up into seven streams
so that anyone can cross over in sandals.(E)
16 There will be a highway(F) for the remnant(G) of his people
that is left from Assyria,(H)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from Egypt.(I)
