And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
And he made their chariot wheels come off, so that they drove with great difficulty. Then the Egyptians said, 'Let us run away from Israel, because the LORD is fighting for them against us!'
God disabled the Egyptian chariots during their pursuit of Israel, causing the Egyptians to realize that God himself was fighting against them.
📚 Historical Context
In the biblical account of the Exodus, the Israelites were fleeing from the Egyptian army after leaving Egypt, with Pharaoh pursuing them to the edge of the Red Sea. God miraculously intervened to protect His people by causing the Egyptians' chariot wheels to come off, slowing their advance and demonstrating His supreme power. This event occurred as part of the larger narrative of God's deliverance, where He parted the sea for Israel and then allowed it to return, destroying the Egyptian forces.
