Commentary on Exodus 14:30

Theological / Devotional

Israel saw the Egyptians. Josephus (Antiquities ii. 16. 6) says that after the crossing of the sea by the Israelites a west wind set in (see on v. 27). Such a wind, assisted by the current, would drive the bodies of the drowned Egyptians to the eastern shore. In this way, according to Josephus, Moses obtained weapons and armor for the Israelites.
