The column of cloud moved from the front and took its place behind them. It stood between Egypt\\u2019s camp and Israel\\u2019s camp. The cloud remained there, and when darkness fell it lit up the night. They didn\\u2019t come near each other all night.\\nThen Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. The Lord pushed the sea back by a strong east wind all night, turning the sea into dry land. The waters were split into two. The Israelites walked into the sea on dry ground. The waters formed a wall for them on their right hand and on their left. The Egyptians chased them and went into the sea after them, all of Pharaoh\\u2019s horses, chariots, and cavalry. As morning approached, the Lord looked down on the Egyptian camp from the column of lightning and cloud and threw the Egyptian camp into a panic. The Lord jammed their chariot wheels so that they wouldn\\u2019t turn easily. The Egyptians said, \\u201cLet\\u2019s get away from the Israelites, because the Lord is fighting for them against Egypt!\\u201d\\nThen the Lord said to Moses, \\u201cStretch out your hand over the sea so that the water comes back and covers the Egyptians, their chariots, and their cavalry.\\u201d So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. At daybreak, the sea returned to its normal depth. The Egyptians were driving toward it, and the Lord tossed the Egyptians into the sea. The waters returned and covered the chariots and the cavalry, Pharaoh\\u2019s entire army that had followed them into the sea. Not one of them remained. The Israelites, however, walked on dry ground through the sea. The waters formed a wall for them on their right hand and on their left.\\nThe Lord rescued Israel from the Egyptians that day. Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Israel saw the amazing power of the Lord against the Egyptians. The people were in awe of the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.\\nThe post The Exodus didn\\u2019t happen. The Exodus is true. \\u2013 Exodus 14:19-31 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
