| Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore, &c.--The tide threw them up and left multitudes of corpses on the beach; a result that brought greater infamy on the Egyptians, but that tended, on the other hand, to enhance the triumph of the Israelites, and doubtless enriched them with arms, which they had not before. The locality of this famous passage has not yet been, and probably never will be, satisfactorily fixed. Some place it in the immediate neighborhood of Suez; where, they say, the part of the sea is most likely to be affected by "a strong east wind" [Exo 14:21]; where the road from the defile of Migdol (now Muktala) leads directly to this point; and where the sea, not above two miles broad, could be crossed in a short time. The vast majority, however, who have examined the spot, reject this opinion, and fix the passage, as does local tradition, about ten or twelve miles further down the shore at Wady Tawarik. "The time of the miracle was the whole night, at the season of the year, too, when the night would be about its average length. The sea at that point extends from six and a half to eight miles in breadth. There was thus ample time for the passage of the Israelites from any part of the valley, especially considering their excitement and animation by the gracious and wonderful interposition of Providence in their behalf" [WILSON]. |

| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
This miraculous deliverance of Israel from the power of Egypt, through the mighty hand of their God, produced so wholesome a fear of the Lord, that they believed in Jehovah, and His servant Moses.
Exo 14:31
"The great hand:" i.e., the might which Jehovah had displayed upon Egypt. In addition to the glory of God through the judgment upon Pharaoh (Exo 14:4, Exo 14:17), the guidance of Israel through the sea was also designed to establish Israel still more firmly in the fear of the Lord and in faith. But faith in the Lord was inseparably connected with faith in Moses as the servant of the Lord. Hence the miracle was wrought through the hand and staff of Moses. But this second design of the miraculous guidance of Israel did not exclude the first, viz., glory upon Pharaoh. From this manifestation of Jehovah's omnipotence, the Israelites were to discern not only the merciful Deliverer, but also the holy Judge of the ungodly, that they might grow in the fear of God, as well as in the faith which they had already shown, when, trusting in the omnipotence of Jehovah, they had gone, as though upon dry land (Heb 11:29), between the watery walls which might at any moment have overwhelmed them. |

| And Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the shore - The Egyptians were very curious in preserving the bodies of their great men, but here the utmost contempt is poured upon all the grandees of Egypt; see how they lie heaps upon heaps, as dung upon the face of the earth. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore - By the extraordinary agitation of the waters, no doubt multitudes of the dead Egyptians were cast on the shore, and by their spoils the Israelites were probably furnished with considerable riches, and especially clothing and arms; which latter were essentially necessary to them in their wars with the Amalekites, Basanites, and Amorites, etc., on their way to the promised land. If they did not get their arms in this way, we know not how they got them, as there is not the slightest reason to believe that they brought any with them out of Egypt. |
21 And Moses [04872] stretched out [05186] his hand [03027] over the sea [03220]; and the LORD [03068] caused the sea [03220] to go [03212] back by a strong [05794] east [06921] wind [07307] all that night [03915], and made [07760] the sea [03220] dry [02724] land, and the waters [04325] were divided [01234].
2 Wherein [1722] [3739] in time past [4218] ye walked [4043] according to [2596] the course [165] of this [5127] world [2889], according to [2596] the prince [758] of the power [1849] of the air [109], the spirit [4151] that now [3568] worketh [1754] in [1722] the children [5207] of disobedience [543]:
2 For [1063] the law [3551] of the Spirit [4151] of life [2222] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] hath made [1659] me [3165] free [1659] from [575] the law [3551] of sin [266] and [2532] death [2288].
18 Forasmuch as ye know [1492] that [3754] ye were [3084] not [3756] redeemed [3084] with corruptible things [5349], as silver [694] and [2228] gold [5553], from [1537] your [5216] vain [3152] conversation [391] received by tradition from your fathers [3970];
24 Being justified [1344] freely [1432] by his [846] grace [5485] through [1223] the redemption [629] that is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]:
20 And the Redeemer [01350] shall come [0935] to Zion [06726], and unto them that turn [07725] from transgression [06588] in Jacob [03290], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
2 For [1063] the law [3551] of the Spirit [4151] of life [2222] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] hath made [1659] me [3165] free [1659] from [575] the law [3551] of sin [266] and [2532] death [2288].
14 And it shall be when thy son [01121] asketh [07592] thee in time to come [04279], saying [0559], What is this? that thou shalt say [0559] unto him, By strength [02392] of hand [03027] the LORD [03068] brought us out [03318] from Egypt [04714], from the house [01004] of bondage [05650]:
6 Wherefore [03651] say [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], I am the LORD [03068], and I will bring [03318] you out from under the burdens [05450] of the Egyptians [04714], and I will rid [05337] you out of their bondage [05656], and I will redeem [01350] you with a stretched [05186] out arm [02220], and with great [01419] judgments [08201]:
18 Forasmuch as ye know [1492] that [3754] ye were [3084] not [3756] redeemed [3084] with corruptible things [5349], as silver [694] and [2228] gold [5553], from [1537] your [5216] vain [3152] conversation [391] received by tradition from your fathers [3970];
27 That ye shall say [0559], It is the sacrifice [02077] of the LORD'S [03068] passover [06453], who passed [06452] over the houses [01004] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in Egypt [04714], when he smote [05062] the Egyptians [04714], and delivered [05337] our houses [01004]. And the people [05971] bowed the head [06915] and worshipped [07812].
23 For the LORD [03068] will pass through [05674] to smite [05062] the Egyptians [04714]; and when he seeth [07200] the blood [01818] upon the lintel [04947], and on the two [08147] side posts [04201], the LORD [03068] will pass over [06452] the door [06607], and will not suffer [05414] the destroyer [07843] to come [0935] in unto your houses [01004] to smite [05062] you.
13 And the blood [01818] shall be to you for a token [0226] upon the houses [01004] where ye are: and when I see [07200] the blood [01818], I will pass [06452] over you, and the plague [05063] shall not be upon you to destroy [04889] you, when I smite [05221] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
17 For [1063] God [2316] sent [649] not [3756] his [846] Son [5207] into [1519] the world [2889] to [2443] condemn [2919] the world [2889]; but [235] that [2443] the world [2889] through [1223] him [846] might be saved [4982].
16 For [1063] God [2316] so [3779] loved [25] the world [2889], that [5620] he gave [1325] his [846] only begotten [3439] Son [5207], that [2443] whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] in [1519] him [846] should [622] not [3361] perish [622], but [235] have [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222].
2 And the woman [0802] conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121]: and when she saw [07200] him that he was a goodly [02896] child, she hid [06845] him three [07969] months [03391].
16 For [1063] God [2316] so [3779] loved [25] the world [2889], that [5620] he gave [1325] his [846] only begotten [3439] Son [5207], that [2443] whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] in [1519] him [846] should [622] not [3361] perish [622], but [235] have [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222].
8 And I am come down [03381] to deliver [05337] them out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714], and to bring [05927] them up out of that land [0776] unto a good [02896] land [0776] and a large [07342], unto a land [0776] flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; unto the place [04725] of the Canaanites [03669], and the Hittites [02850], and the Amorites [0567], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983].
7 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], I have surely [07200] seen [07200] the affliction [06040] of my people [05971] which are in Egypt [04714], and have heard [08085] their cry [06818] by reason [06440] of their taskmasters [05065]; for I know [03045] their sorrows [04341];
29 By faith [4102] they passed through [1224] the Red [2063] sea [2281] as [5613] by [1223] dry [3584] land: which [3739] the Egyptians [124] assaying [3984] to do [2983] were drowned [2666].
17 And I, behold, I will harden [02388] the hearts [03820] of the Egyptians [04714], and they shall follow [0935] them [0310]: and I will get me honour [03513] upon Pharaoh [06547], and upon all his host [02428], upon his chariots [07393], and upon his horsemen [06571].
4 And I will harden [02388] Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820], that he shall follow [07291] after [0310] them; and I will be honoured [03513] upon Pharaoh [06547], and upon all his host [02428]; that the Egyptians [04714] may know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. And they did [06213] so.
31 And Israel [03478] saw [07200] that great [01419] work [03027] which the LORD [03068] did [06213] upon the Egyptians [04714]: and the people [05971] feared [03372] the LORD [03068], and believed [0539] the LORD [03068], and his servant [05650] Moses [04872].
