Exodus 14:13Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again.
The setting
Red Sea shore, Egypt, ~1446 BC. Dawn. 2 million Israelites trapped between Pharaoh's army and impossible waters. Modern-day near Suez, Egypt.
The emotion here: terrified but choosing to trust God's promise despite seeing no way out
The original word
yeshuah (יְשׁוּעָה) — deliverance, rescue, salvation - root of Jesus' name
Why it matters
Egyptian war chariots could travel 20 mph - the Israelites had no chance on foot
