Exodus 14:23-28

English Standard Version

²³ The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. ²⁴ And in the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic, ²⁵ clogging^[a] their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the ^(A)Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”

²⁶ Then the Lord said to Moses, ^(B)“Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.” ^27 (C)So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea ^(D)returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the Lord ^(E)threw^[b] the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. ²⁸ The ^(F)waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, ^(G)not one of them remained.
