Exodus 14:19–25

The night before, the Hebrews were afraid and in a panic. Now the Egyptian army was confused and in disorder. Even though they were highly trained, they could not keep control.

They realized that they faced a power greater than themselves. They could not understand it, and they could not control it.

Exodus 14:15–31

The escape through the Red Sea was the climactic moment of rescue. It was the highest point of God’s saving work in the exodus from Egypt.
