📚 Historical Context

In the book of Exodus, the Israelites had been enslaved in Egypt for generations until God raised up Moses to lead them toward freedom. As they fled, Pharaoh's army pursued them to the edge of the Red Sea, where God miraculously parted the waters to allow the Israelites to cross on dry ground. After they passed safely, the waters returned and destroyed the Egyptian forces, leading the people to respond with fear and belief in the Lord and His servant Moses.
