               COMMENT:  Once on the opposite shore of the Red Sea, the  Israelites
               looked back and saw Pharaoh and his army entering the same path they
               had traversed. When all the soldiers  were  between the towering  walls of
               water, YEHOVAH God allowed the waters to suddenly collapse upon them,
