The pressure was now on Moses to do something...only God knows what was going through Moses' mind at that time, & while he was

Exodus 14:17 "Meanwhile I'll make sure the Egyptians keep up their stubborn chase -I'll use Pharaoh & his entire army,
It was a setup & pharaoh knew it not.

Did you also notice that God drew a line between d Israelites & Pharaoh's army?
Exodus 14:20 The Cloud was now between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. The Cloud enshrouded one camp in darkness and flooded the other with light. The two camps didn't

Did you also observe that, during the crossing of the red sea, both the pursuer & the pursued walked on different grounds?
While, the seabed became dry
Exo 14:22 The Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground with the waters a wall to the right & to the left.
Exo 14:25 He clogged d wheels of their chariots; they were stuck in the mud.
They said, "Run from Israel! God is fighting on their side & against Egypt!"
That was just d beginning of their woes & miscalculation. God wasn't done with them yet.

Moats should be:
