How preachers through history handled this text
15 public-domain excerpts on Exodus 14, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The dividing the Red sea was the terror of the Canaanites, Jos 2:9; the praise and triumph of the Israelites, Ps 114:3; 106:9; 136:13. It was a type of baptism, 1Co 10:1, 2. Israel's passage through it was typical of the conversion of souls, Isa 11:15; and the Egyptians being drowned in it was typical of the final ruin of all unrepenting sinners. God showed his almighty power, by opening a passage through the waters, some miles over. God can bring his people through the greatest difficulties, and force a way where he does not find it. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Exodus 14:21–35 (Public Domain)
