Exodus 14–18

Overview

After the children of Israel left Egypt, they found themselves trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army. The Lord miraculously delivered them by opening a path through the sea on dry ground. In the wilderness, the Lord taught, protected, and provided for the Israelites through strengthening them in battle and through miraculous water and food, including manna.
