The Sea Divided: Exodus 14:5-31

When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!

Pharaoh's grief faded. His son was dead, but so was his workforce. The calculation returned: we lost our slaves. What have we done?

So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him. He took six hundred of the best chariots, along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them.

The pursuit launched. Six hundred elite chariots. The rest of Egypt's chariot force. Officers commanding. The might of Egypt rolling toward the fleeing slaves.
