📚 Historical Context
During the Exodus from Egypt, the Israelites were fleeing slavery and had reached the Red Sea, with the Egyptian army in hot pursuit, determined to bring them back. God had been guiding the Israelites with a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night, which not only led them but also acted as a protective barrier between them and their enemies. In this specific moment, as described in Exodus 14, God used the pillar to directly intervene and disrupt the Egyptians' advance.
