26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” 27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea (A)returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord (B)overthrew[a] the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 Then (C)the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained. 29 But (D)the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

30 So the Lord (E)saved[b] Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel (F)saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 Thus Israel saw the great [c]work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and (G)believed the Lord and His servant Moses.

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.(A) The Egyptians were fleeing toward[a] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.(B) 28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.(C) Not one of them survived.(D)

29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,(E) with a wall(F) of water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved(G) 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(H) of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared(I) the Lord and put their trust(J) in him and in Moses his servant.
