Exodus 14:17

Parting the Red Sea

16And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.17And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. Then I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army and chariots and horsemen.18The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
