Exodus

Exodus 14:27–29

²⁷So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal state. As the Egyptians were retreating, the LORD swept them into the sea. ²⁸The waters flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen — the entire army of Pharaoh that had chased the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.

²⁹But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.
