Moses answered the people. He said,“ Don’t be afraid. Stand firm. You will see how the Lord will save you today. Do you see those Egyptians? You will never see them again.The Lord will fight for you. Just be still.”Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people of Israel to move on.Hold out your walking stick. Reach out your hand over the Red Sea to divide the water. Then the people can go through the sea on dry ground.I will make the Egyptians stubborn. They will go in after the Israelites. I will gain glory for myself because of what will happen to Pharaoh, his army, chariots and horsemen.The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord. I will gain glory because of what will happen to Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”The angel of God had been traveling in front of Israel’s army. Now he moved back and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved away from in front of them. Now it stood behind them.It came between the armies of Egypt and Israel. All through the night the cloud brought darkness to one side and light to the other. Neither army went near the other all night long.Then Moses reached out his hand over the Red Sea. All that night the Lord pushed the sea back with a strong east wind. He turned the sea into dry land. The waters were divided.The people of Israel went through the sea on dry ground. There was a wall of water on their right side and on their left.The Egyptians chased them. All Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea.Near the end of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud. He saw the Egyptian army and threw it into a panic.He jammed the wheels of their chariots. That made the chariots hard to drive. The Egyptians said,“ Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for Israel against Egypt.”Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ Reach out your hand over the sea. The waters will flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.”So Moses reached out his hand over the sea. At sunrise the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians tried to run away from the sea. But the Lord swept them into it.The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen. It covered the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the people of Israel into the sea. Not one of the Egyptians was left.But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground. There was a wall of water on their right side and on their left.That day the Lord saved Israel from the power of Egypt. The Israelites saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.The Israelites saw the amazing power the Lord showed against the Egyptians. So the Israelites had great respect for the Lord and put their trust in him. They also put their trust in his servant Moses.Here is the song that Moses and the people of Israel sang to the Lord. They said,“ I will sing to the Lord. He is greatly honored. He has thrown Pharaoh’s horses and chariot drivers into the Red Sea.The Lord gives me strength and protects me. He has saved me. He is my God, I will praise him. He is my father’s God, and I will honor him.The Lord goes into battle. The Lord is his name.He has thrown Pharaoh’s chariots and army into the Red Sea. Pharaoh’s best officers drowned in the sea.The deep waters covered them. They sank to the bottom like a stone.“ Lord, your right hand was majestic and powerful. Lord, your right hand destroyed your enemies.Because of your great majesty, you threw down those who opposed you. Your burning anger blazed out. It burned them up like straw.The powerful blast from your nose piled up the waters. The rushing waters stood firm like a wall. The deep waters stood up in the middle of the sea.“ Your enemies bragged,‘ We will chase Israel and will catch them. We’ll divide up what we take from them. We’ll eat them alive. We’ll pull our swords out. Our powerful hands will destroy them.’But you blew with your breath. The Red Sea covered your enemies. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.“ Lord, who among the gods is like you? Who is like you? You are majestic and holy. Your glory fills me with wonder. You do amazing things.You reach out your right hand. The earth swallows up your enemies.“ Because your love is faithful, you will lead the people you have set free. Because you are so strong, you will guide them to the holy place where you live.The nations will hear about it and tremble. Pain and suffering will take hold of the Philistines.The chiefs of Edom will be terrified. The leaders of Moab will tremble with fear. The people of Canaan will melt away.Fear and terror will fall on them. Your powerful arm will make them as still as a stone. Then your people will pass by, Lord. Then the people you created will pass by.You will bring them in. You will plant them on the mountain you gave them. Lord, you have made that place your home. Lord, your hands have made your holy place secure.“ The Lord rules for ever and ever.”Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen went into the Red Sea. The Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them. But the people of Israel walked through the sea on dry ground.Aaron’s sister Miriam was a prophet. She took a tambourine in her hand. All the women followed her. They played tambourines and danced.Miriam sang to them,“ Sing to the Lord. He is greatly honored. He has thrown Pharaoh’s horses and chariot drivers into the Red Sea.”

He ordered the Red Sea to dry up, and it did. He led his people through it as if it were a desert.He saved them from the power of their enemies. He set them free from their control.The waters covered their enemies. Not one of them escaped alive.

God parted the Red Sea and led them through it. He made the water stand up like a wall.

Then his people remembered what he did long ago. They recalled the days of Moses and his people. They asked,“ Where is the God who brought Israel through the Red Sea? Moses led them as the shepherd of his flock. Where is the God who put his Holy Spirit among them?He used his glorious and powerful arm to help Moses. He parted the waters of the sea in front of them. That mighty act made him famous forever.He led them through that deep sea. Like a horse in open country, they didn’t trip and fall.They were like cattle that are taken down to the plains. They were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord.” That’s how he guided his people. So he made a glorious name for himself.Lord, look down from heaven. Look down from your holy and glorious throne. Where is your great love for us? Where is your power? Why don’t you show us your tender love and concern?You are our Father. Abraham might not accept us as his children. Jacob might not recognize us as his family. But you are our Father, Lord. Your name is One Who Always Sets Us Free.

The Lord will dry up the Red Sea in Egypt. By his power he’ll send a burning wind to sweep over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into many streams. Then people will be able to go across it wearing sandals.There was a road the people of Israel used when they came up from Egypt. In the same way, there will be a wide road coming out of Assyria. It will be used by the Lord’ s people who are left alive there.

Wake up, arm of the Lord! Wake up! Dress yourself with strength as if it were your clothes! Wake up, just as you did in the past. Wake up, as you did long ago. Didn’t you cut Rahab to pieces? Didn’t you stab that sea monster to death?Didn’t you dry up the Red Sea? Didn’t you dry up those deep waters? You made a road on the bottom of that sea. Then those who were set free went across.

The people of Israel came out of Egypt. The people of Jacob left a land where a different language was spoken.Then Judah became the holy place where God lived. Israel became the land he ruled over.The Red Sea saw him and parted. The Jordan River stopped flowing.The mountains leaped like rams. The hills skipped like lambs.Red Sea, why did you part? Jordan River, why did you stop flowing?

You parted the waters of the Red Sea for the Israelites. They passed through it on dry ground. But you threw into the sea those who chased them. They sank down like a stone into the mighty waters.

He turned the Red Sea into dry land. The people of Israel passed through the waters on foot. Come, let us be full of joy because of what he did.

Give thanks to the God who parted the waters of the Red Sea. His faithful love continues forever.He brought Israel through the middle of it. His faithful love continues forever.But he swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea. His faithful love continues forever.

Lord, were you angry with the rivers? Were you angry with the streams? Were you angry with the Red Sea? You rode your horses and chariots to overcome it.You got your bow ready to use. You asked for many arrows. You broke up the surface of the earth with rivers.The mountains saw you and shook. Floods of water swept by. The sea roared. It lifted its waves high.

We’ve heard how the Lord dried up the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt. We’ve heard what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings. They ruled east of the Jordan River. You completely destroyed them.
