How did Israel cross the Red Sea according to Exodus 14:29?

According to Exodus 14:29, the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters stood as a wall on their right and on their left. God opened the Red Sea, making a dry path through the midst of it.

Les explains that Exodus 14:29 makes clear the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea, with the waters as a wall on their right and on their left. He discredits the movie The Ten Commandments, because you would never run three to seven million people, livestock, and herds through the narrow channel shown in the movie. Les is convinced God moved that whole multitude miraculously faster than a three-mile-an-hour walk and opened the Red Sea an amazing amount of distance so that such a large multitude could go through in a short period of time. However He did it, and however much He did it, we know He did it; Scripture says so, and we believe it. The picture is also indicative of the burial of Christ, and coming out on the other side is resurrection.
