What happensPermalink
God turns the Israelites back to meet the pursuing Egyptians. Moses parts the sea, and God drowns the Egyptian chariots in it.
Why it mattersPermalink
The Egyptians still haven’t gotten the message of God’s sovereignty and claim on the Israelites. They pursue, so God turns the Israelites back to show once again His power over all creation.
Key versePermalink
“And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord.”
