The Hebrews leave Egypt and the Lord is with them with a pillar of\\xa0cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. After the Hebrews leave\\xa0Egypt, the Egyptians reflect on the fact that they have lost millions\\xa0of people from the land, and pursue the Hebrews. They reach a sea,\\xa0which is translated as the Red Sea in Greek but may have originally\\xa0been the sea of reeds in Hebrew, and possibly connected to a phrase\\xa0meaning the sea at the end.

God parts the sea for the Hebrews to show His power, but closes the\\xa0waters and drowns the Egyptians to save His people.
