and the waters.This verse demonstrates that this event was wholly miraculous, and cannot be ascribed, as some have supposed, to an extraordinary ebb, which happened just then to be produced by a strong east wind:

• They “went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground” (vs. 22). Wherefore? Because—we speak of the typical teaching—Christ had gone down into death, and exhausted its power. He “death by dying slew,” and in death met and vanquished the whole power of Satan. Through death He destroyed him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, and delivered them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage (Heb. 2:14-15). All the force and power of death were therefore expended upon Christ, and as a consequence believers pass through on dry ground. (“God as the Deliverer of His People: Exodus 14” by E. Dennett)
• Israel’s faith on this occasion carries with it divine commendation (Heb. 11:29). They looked for and received Jehovah’s salvation, and that salvation was the crowning act of the Lord in their deliverance; indeed, the passover and the passage of the Red Sea go together in forming the salvation of Jehovah wherewith He delivered Israel out of Egypt and freed them from its power. Both must be taken together in order that the full significance of the salvation of Jehovah may be realized. (“Egypt's Army Overthrown” by H.F. Witherby)
• Death, as it were, became a wall of defense to Israel on right hand and left as they passed through the sea. (“Egypt's Army Overthrown” by H.F. Witherby)
