....The Israelites set out on foot from RAMSES for SUKKOTH. They were about six hundred thousands of Man, not counting the women and children. The Israelites had lived in Egypt for 430 years.

      When Pharaoh, the king of Egypt was told that the Israelites had all gone and we have lost them as our slaves, he and his officials changed their minds, and then the king got his war chariots and armed forces to pursue and arrest the Israelites who were now leaving truimphantly, and under the protection of their Lord. When the Israelites saw the king and his forces in pursuit, they were terrified and cried out to God for help. Moses said to them:ِ

      ``Don't be afraid! The Lord is with us, stand your ground and you will see what our Lord will do to save you to-day.'' Then Moses held out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind. The sea path was turned to a dry land and the water was divided in two parts. The Israelites passed the sea with walls of water on both sides.

      When the king and his army pursued them, the Lord said to Moses hold out your hand over the sea. Moses did so and the water returned to its normal levels. All the Egyptions in pursuit were drowned, not one of them left alive!
