¹ tn Or “drove the sea back” (NIV, NCV, NRSV, TEV). The verb is simply the Hiphil of הָלַךְ (halakh, “to walk, go”). The context requires that it be interpreted along the lines of “go back, go apart.”

² tn Heb “the waters descending from above stood still.”

³ tn Heb “they stood in one pile very far away.”

⁴ tn Heb “the [waters] descending toward the sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) were completely cut off.”

⁶ tn Heb “in the midst of.”

⁷ tn Heb “those who pursued them.”
