This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Then God directed Moses to stretch out his staff again over the sea, and the sea came back with the turning of the morning (when the morning turned, or approached) to its position (אֵיתָן perennitas, the lasting or permanent position), and the Egyptians were flying to meet it. “When the east wind which divided the sea ceased to blow, the sea from the north and south began to flow together on the western side;” whereupon, to judge from Exo 15:10, the wind began immediately to blow from the west, and drove the waves in the face of the flying Egyptians. “And thus Jehovah shook the Egyptians (i.e., plunged them into the greatest confusion) in the midst of the sea,” so that Pharaoh's chariots and horsemen, to the very last man, were buried in the waves.
