That day
This phrase marks a specific moment in time, emphasizing the immediacy and significance of the event. In the Hebrew context, "that day" often signifies a divine intervention or a pivotal moment in the history of God's people. It underscores the miraculous nature of the event, highlighting that it was not just any day, but a day ordained by God for deliverance.

the LORD
The Hebrew name used here is "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal presence and faithfulness. This name is deeply rooted in the identity of God as the one who is self-existent and unchanging. It reminds the reader of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and His commitment to fulfill those promises through acts of salvation and deliverance.

saved
The Hebrew word "yasha" is used here, which means to deliver or rescue. This word is often associated with God's intervention in times of distress. It is a powerful reminder of God's role as the Savior of His people, not just in a physical sense, but also spiritually. This act of salvation is a foreshadowing of the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ.

Israel
Referring to the descendants of Jacob, this term signifies the chosen people of God. Israel's identity is deeply connected to their covenant relationship with Yahweh. This deliverance reinforces their identity as God's people, set apart for His purposes, and serves as a testament to the nations of God's power and faithfulness.

from the hand of the Egyptians
The "hand" symbolizes power and control. The Egyptians, under Pharaoh's rule, had enslaved the Israelites, representing oppression and bondage. God's deliverance from the "hand of the Egyptians" signifies liberation from tyranny and a transition from slavery to freedom, both physically and spiritually.

and Israel saw
The act of seeing is significant in the Hebrew tradition, often implying understanding or realization. This moment of witnessing the Egyptians' defeat is not just a physical sight but a spiritual revelation of God's power and faithfulness. It serves as a confirmation of God's promises and a catalyst for Israel's faith.

the Egyptians dead on the shore
This phrase highlights the complete and irreversible nature of God's deliverance. The sight of their oppressors defeated and lifeless on the shore serves as a tangible proof of God's victory. It symbolizes the end of an era of oppression and the beginning of a new chapter in Israel's journey with God. This imagery also serves as a warning to those who oppose God's will, demonstrating His ultimate authority over life and death.

(30) Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.--On one who saw this sight it would be likely to make a great impression; to after generations it was nothing, since it had no further consequences. That it is recorded indicates the pen of an eyewitness.

Verse 30. - Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore. Josephus says (Ant. Jud. 2:16, § 6), that, after the passage of the sea by the Israelites, a west wind set in, which (assisted by the current) drove the bodies of the drowned Egyptians to the eastern side of the gulf, where many of them were cast up upon the shore. In this way Moses, according to him, obtained weapons and armour for a considerable number of Israelites.
