📚 Historical Context
This verse occurs during the Exodus, when the Israelites, led by Moses, were fleeing from slavery in Egypt after God had inflicted the Ten Plagues on the Egyptians. As the Egyptian army pursued them, God miraculously parted the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground while the waters formed protective walls on either side. This event highlighted God's sovereign power and deliverance for His chosen people as they journeyed toward the Promised Land.
