Deconstructing Exodus 14 - The Red Sea Crossing

Exodus 14 describes the dramatic moment when the Israelites, led by Moses, escape from Egypt and face the Red Sea. Here's a summary of the chapter: 1. **Pharaoh's Pursuit**: After the Israelites leave Egypt, Pharaoh changes his mind and sends his army, including chariots and horsemen, to pursue them. They catch up with the Israelites as they camp near the Red Sea. 2. **Israelites' Fear**: When the Israelites see Pharaoh's army approaching, they panic and cry out to Moses. They complain about being brought out of Egypt to die in the wilderness and regret leaving Egypt, where they at least had food and shelter. 3. **Moses' Assurance**: Moses reassures the people, telling them not to be afraid, as God will fight for them. He instructs them to stand firm and trust in God's deliverance. 4. **God's Command**: God tells Moses to stop praying and instead, raise his staff over the sea. God will part the waters, allowing the Israelites to walk through on dry ground. 5. **Parting of the Red Sea**: Moses follows God's instructions, and the waters of the Red Sea part, creating a dry path for the Israelites to walk through. A strong wind blows, separating the waters, and the Israelites begin their escape. 6. **Pharaoh's Army Drowned**: As the Egyptians pursue the Israelites into the divided sea, God tells Moses to stretch his hand over the waters again. The waters return to their normal state, drowning Pharaoh's army, including his chariots and soldiers. 7. **Israel's Deliverance and God's Glory**: The Israelites see the Egyptians dead on the shore, and they fear and trust in God. They also fear Moses as God's servant. This event leads to the Israelites praising God for their deliverance. Exodus 14 highlights God's power, faithfulness, and the miraculous way He rescued the Israelites from their enemies, leading them through the Red Sea to safety.
