And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Moses told the people, 'Don't be afraid! Stay calm and watch how the LORD will save you today. The Egyptians you see right now, you will never see them again.'
Moses is telling the terrified Israelites to trust God completely because He is about to rescue them in a way they've never seen before.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, the Israelites had just escaped from slavery in Egypt and were being pursued by Pharaoh's army, which created a moment of intense fear and desperation as they reached the Red Sea with no apparent escape. This event highlights the cultural backdrop of ancient Israel's dependence on God for deliverance from their oppressors, as they had witnessed God's power through the plagues but now faced an immediate threat. Moses, as their divinely appointed leader, spoke these words to rally their faith and prevent panic.
