But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea, etc.] The bottom of it becoming so through the strong east wind, which blew all night until they came to the opposite shore, where they landed on “terra firma”; and so Noldius renders the phrase “through the sea”; that is, from shore to shore: and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left; ((see Gill on “<021422>Exodus 14:22”)).
