As the Egyptians fled before it, the Lord tossed the Egyptians into the sea.(A) 28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the chariot drivers, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea; not one of them remained.(B) 29 But the Israelites walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left.(C)
