21 (A)Then Moses reached out with his hand over the sea; and the Lord [a]swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into (B)dry land, and (C)the waters were divided. 22 So (D)the sons of Israel [b]went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and (E)the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left. 23 Then (F)the Egyptians took up the pursuit, and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea. 24 But at the morning watch, (G)the Lord looked down on the [c]army of the Egyptians [d]through the pillar of fire and cloud, and brought the [e]army of the Egyptians into confusion. 25 He [f]caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians each said, “Let me flee from Israel, (H)for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”

26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “(I)Reach out with your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.” 27 So Moses reached out with his hand over the sea, and (J)the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing [g]right into it; then the Lord [h](K)overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, Pharaoh’s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; (L)not even one of them remained. 29 But the sons of Israel walked on (M)dry land through the midst of the sea, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left.
