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.
