Israel Trapped By The Red Sea

The fleeing Israelites have hit a terrifying dead end. The impassable Red Sea is before them, and the dust of Pharaoh's charging chariots is rising behind them. The people are crying out in panic to Moses, claiming it would have been better to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness. The situation appears utterly hopeless.

"Then Moses said to the people, 'Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of Yahweh which He will accomplish for you today...'"
— Exodus 14:13
Timeline Box: The trapping at the Red Sea occurred in the days immediately following the Exodus.
