Where God split the waters and Israel walked through on dry ground
SinaiThe body of water God miraculously parted for the Israelites to escape Pharaoh's army during the Exodus (Exodus 14). The Egyptian army followed them in and was drowned when the waters collapsed. This is THE defining act of God in the Old Testament — referenced more than any other event as proof that God delivers His people. The exact crossing location is debated, but the event is the foundation of Israel's identity.
Exodus
The Song on the Other Side
The Red Sea is the site of Israel's miraculous crossing, its waters having just collapsed back over Pharaoh's pursuing chariots, leaving the former slaves standing free on the far shore.
Exodus
Bread from the Sky
The Red Sea crossing is cited here as one of the miraculous events the people have already forgotten, erased from memory after just one month of wilderness discomfort.
Numbers
The Chapter That Cost Everything
The Red Sea crossing is cited as the pinnacle of Miriam's public leadership — she led the women in song and dance after Israel walked through on dry ground, a moment that defined her prophetic role.
Numbers
The Roll Call of a New Generation
The Red Sea is cited here as the most dramatic miracle the dying first generation had witnessed — a parting of waters they walked through, yet still not enough to produce lasting faith.
Joshua
The Day the River Stopped
The Red Sea is recalled here as the defining miracle of Moses' leadership — the implicit comparison God is drawing is that Joshua's Jordan crossing will be that same category of sign, establishing him as Moses' true successor.
