Les Feldick Bible Study

Did Israel cross the Red Sea at a shallow or easy place?

No. The Red Sea crossing was not at a shallow or easy place. The context indicates it happened where the water was deepest, and God's power opened the sea so Israel crossed on dry ground. This required divine intervention, not a natural shallow crossing.

Les explains that Israel stood before the Red Sea with no way out, and then the power of God moved in and the sea opened up. He says we must take for granted that it was not at some easy place of crossing, but where it was the deepest, and they went across on dry ground.
