But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over
the
sea, and divide it
Even the same rod with which so many wonders had been done in
Egypt; and Artapanus, the Heathen, says F24, that
Moses being bid by a divine voice to smite the sea with his rod,
he hearkened to it, and touched the water with it, and so it
divided, as it is said it did, ( Exodus 14:21
)
and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through
the midst of
the sea;
and so they did, ( Exodus 14:22
Exodus
14:29 ) .
