For an exact comprehension OF the
whole matter a review Of the biblical
history Is essential. Taking from their
context In order those verses OF the
sacred narrative which are necessary
we have the following concise record
from the book OF Exodus:
And the Lord hardened the heart Of
Pharaoh, King Of Egypt. and he pursued
after the children OF Israel: and IN,
children OF Israel went out with an high
hand.
But the Egyptians pursued after
them. all the horses and oharlots OF
Pharaoh and his horsemon. and his
army. and overlook them. oncamplnr
by the sea, beside Plhahlroth. before
Baal.Zephon.
And the Egyptians pursued and went
In after them to the midst OF the sea
even all Pharaoh'a horses. his charlots
and hls horsemen.
And Moses stretched forth his hand
over the sea. and the sea returned to ia
strength when the morning appeared,
and the Egyptians fed against &: and
the Lord overthrow the Egyptians In
the midst Of the sea.
And the waters returned. and covered
I the oharlo,s. and the horsomen. and all
the hosts Of Pharaoh that came into
d the sea after them; there remained not
40 much as one Of them.
Thus the Lord aved Israel that day
out OF the hand Of the Egyptians: and
Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the
2 seashore.
