God miraculously brings Israel through the Red Sea waters. When Israel crosses through the sea, they leave behind slavery and a future of death in Egypt. They then begin to understand the freedom and future life with God that they will have. Israel is powerless to make this drastic change on its own, but God intervenes to provide the way. After the Red Sea crossing, Moses praises the Lord for victory, saving Israel from the Egyptians and anticipates future victories and salvation from the Canaanites. This is often called the Song of Moses and is recorded in Exodus 15:1-18. The Israelites are just beginning to understand how badly they have needed God's rescue from Egypt. They begin to see the life which God is bringing them. Even so, they begin grumbling and complaining.
