The Pharaoh regrets letting the Israelites go and pursues them with his army. The Israelites are trapped at the Red Sea, but God parts the sea for them to cross on dry land. The Egyptians are drowned when the sea closes back up.
Commentary
Exodus 14 is a pivotal chapter in the book of Exodus, as it marks the moment when the Israelites are finally freed from their bondage in Egypt. The chapter begins with God instructing Moses to tell the Israelites to turn and camp by the sea, and to be ready to leave in the morning. Moses then goes to Pharaoh and tells him that the Lord has commanded the Israelites to leave Egypt. Pharaoh, however, refuses to let them go and instead sends his army after them.
