Exodus 14:24-26
New King James Version
24 Now it came to pass, in the morning (A)watch, that (B)the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He [a]troubled the army of the Egyptians. 25 And He [b]took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord (C)fights for them against the Egyptians.”
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.”

24 But at the morning watch, (A)the Lord looked down on the [a]army of the Egyptians [b]through the pillar of fire and cloud, and brought the [c]army of the Egyptians into confusion. 25 He [d]caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians each said, “Let me flee from Israel, (B)for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “(C)Reach out with your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.”
