20. between the Egyptians and the Israelites. The cloud made it dark for the Egyptians, but gave light to the people of Israel, and so the armies could not come near each other all night.
21. Moses held out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind. It blew all night and turned the sea into dry land. The water was divided,
22. and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on both sides.
23. The Egyptians pursued them and went after them into the sea with all their horses, chariots, and drivers.
24. Just before dawn the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw them into a panic.
