Israel is trapped. The sea ahead, the mountains on the sides, Pharaoh's army behind. The people panic and blame Moses: a pattern already established at Marah. Moses says: stand firm and see the salvation of the LORD. He will fight for you; you need only be still.
And the LORD says to Moses: why are you crying out to me? Tell Israel to go forward. The command precedes the miracle. The people are told to move toward the sea before the sea has opened. This is the faith that Hebrews 11 describes, the hupostasis of things hoped for, walking toward the wall of water because the word of God has said to walk.
The pillar of cloud that has been leading Israel now moves to stand between Israel and Egypt, blocking Pharaoh's army from advancing. The east wind blows all night. The sea parts. The waters are walls on the right hand and the left. Israel walks through on dry ground.
Egypt follows. And the LORD looks down through the pillar of fire and cloud and throws Egypt into a panic. The chariot wheels come off. The drivers recognize: the LORD is fighting for Israel against Egypt. They try to flee. The waters return. The army of Egypt is covered. Not one of them survives.
And Israel saw the great work the LORD did against Egypt. They feared the LORD. And they believed, vayyaaminu, the same he'emin root as Genesis 15:6 applied to Abraham. Thread 4 is in the believing: the same genuine faith-act that Abraham performed in Genesis 15 is now performed by the nation he fathered, in response to the same God keeping the same covenant promise.

Thread 1 is in the go forward command: God does not wait for Israel to muster courage. He gives the command that requires the courage and then provides what the command assumed.
Go forward, the command to walk into the sea before it has opened is the most demanding act of faith in the Exodus narrative; and when they come through, they believe, vayyaaminu, the same he'emin root as Abraham in Genesis 15:6.
דַּבֵּר אֶל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְיִסָּעוּ (dabber el benei Yisrael ve-yissa'u): speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward: ve-yissa'u (and let them pull out, set out, from nasa, to journey, pull stakes and move; the command to move comes before the sea is open; Israel is to begin walking toward the sea as the act of faith that precedes the miracle) · וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בַּיהוָה וּבְמֹשֶׁה עַבְדּוֹ (vayyaaminu ba-YHWH u-ve-Moshe avdo): and they believed the LORD and his servant Moses: vayyaaminu (and they believed, Hiphil of aman, the he'emin root; the same active Hiphil used of Abraham's faith in Genesis 15:6; a genuine volitional act of trust by genuine people in response to what they have seen)

Israel is trapped. The sea ahead, the mountains on the sides, Pharaoh's army behind. The people panic and blame Moses: a pattern already established at Marah. Moses says: stand firm and see the salvation of the LORD. He will fight for you; you need only be still.
And the LORD says to Moses: why are you crying out to me? Tell Israel to go forward. The command precedes the miracle. The people are told to move toward the sea before the sea has opened. This is the faith that Hebrews 11 describes, the hupostasis of things hoped for, walking toward the wall of water because the word of God has said to walk.
The pillar of cloud that has been leading Israel now moves to stand between Israel and Egypt, blocking Pharaoh's army from advancing. The east wind blows all night. The sea parts. The waters are walls on the right hand and the left. Israel walks through on dry ground.
Egypt follows. And the LORD looks down through the pillar of fire and cloud and throws Egypt into a panic. The chariot wheels come off. The drivers recognize: the LORD is fighting for Israel against Egypt. They try to flee. The waters return. The army of Egypt is covered. Not one of them survives.
And Israel saw the great work the LORD did against Egypt. They feared the LORD. And they believed, vayyaaminu, the same he'emin root as Genesis 15:6 applied to Abraham. Thread 4 is in the believing: the same genuine faith-act that Abraham performed in Genesis 15 is now performed by the nation he fathered, in response to the same God keeping the same covenant promise.
