📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, the Israelites had just escaped from slavery in Egypt after God sent plagues to convince Pharaoh to let them go. As they fled toward the Red Sea, Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued them with his full military force, including horses, chariots, and horsemen, driven by anger and regret. This pursuit highlights the tension between God's deliverance and human opposition in the biblical narrative of liberation.
