[034] Crossing the Red Sea - Activity Worksheets

They were terrified! The Israelites said to Moses, “Why did you bring us here? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert.” But Moses said, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today.” Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water. The Israelites will go through on dry ground. The Egyptians will go in after them. And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army. The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” Then the pillar of cloud moved from in front of the Israelites to behind them, coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the Egyptians and light to the Israelites. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. [Instruct Moses to stretch outhis rod. 

 All that night a strong east wind blew over the Red Sea, blowing a path of dry land through the middle. The Israelites went through the sea on dry ground. The Egyptians chased after the Israelites. But when they got into the middle of the sea, the wheels started coming off their chariots, and they had trouble driving. Pharaoh said, “Let’s turn around and get away from them. The Lord is fighting for them.” But it was too late. The Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sea. The water will flow back together and cover the Egyptians.”  Moses stretched out his hand toward the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back together and the entire Egyptian army drowned. The Israelites were safely on the other side. They saw the great power of the Lord and they trusted and praised Him.
