After the death Of Egypt's first

exodus. several days elapsed before
the Israelites reached the Red Sea.
Meantime, Pharaoh and his people
had measurably recovered from their
mourning. Pharaoh perceived that
the Israelites had wandered about as

and concluded that It would be easy

Meantime, the Israelites had pass

As they progressed into the moist

clogged, horses went more slowly,
