Exodus 14:21: "Then Moses reached over the sea, and the Lord pushed the sea away with a strong east wind, which blew all night; and turned the sea into a dry land, and the waters were divided." This verse describes the moment when God divided the waters of the Red Sea so that the Israelites could pass on a lean foot.
Psalm 93:4: "But the Lord at the heights is more powerful than the crash of the great waters than the great waves of the sea." This verse highlights the power of God in relation to waters and the sea.
Isaiah 43:2: "When passing through the waters, I will be with you; when through the rivers, they will not submerge you; when you pass through fire, you will not burn you, nor the flame will burn in you." This verse talks about the presence of God and its protection in the midst of difficulties, including the crossing of the waters.
Psalm 93:3: "The torrents raised, O Lord, the torrents raised their voice; the torrents raised their waves." This verse highlights the strength of the waters and how they can be feared, but emphasizes God's superiority over them.
Isaiah 51:10: "Are you not the one who dried the sea, the waters of the great abyss, who made the bottom of the sea a way for him to pass the redeemed?" This verse refers to God's action to dry the Red Sea to allow the escape of the Israelites and highlights its power and dominion over the waters.
