✦ MADE SIMPLE

The Egyptians chased after them and followed them right into the middle of the sea—all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

The Egyptian army pursued the Israelites directly into the parted Red Sea, walking on the same dry ground God had provided for His people's escape.

📚 Historical Context

This occurs during the dramatic Red Sea crossing as the Israelites fled Egypt after 400 years of slavery. Pharaoh had initially let them go after the ten plagues, but then changed his mind and sent his entire army to bring them back. The Israelites had just walked through the sea on dry ground between walls of water.
