📚 Historical Context
This song comes immediately after the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, where God parted the waters for the Israelites to escape Egypt. When Pharaoh's army with their horses and chariots pursued them into the sea, God caused the waters to crash down and destroy the Egyptian forces. This was the climactic moment of Israel's deliverance from 400 years of slavery in Egypt.
