📚 Historical Context
Psalm 114 is a song of praise that celebrates God's deliverance of the Israelites during the Exodus from Egypt. It poetically refers to the parting of the Red Sea, where God allowed the Israelites to cross on dry land to escape Pharaoh's army, and the crossing of the Jordan River under Joshua's leadership, marking their entry into the Promised Land. These events highlight God's supernatural intervention in history to fulfill His promises to His people.
