Commentary on Exodus 14:16
The command to Moses: 'lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it' combines divine power with human agency. The rod (already used in plagues) serves as God's appointed instrument. The act—stretching hand toward impossible obstacle—requires faith. The promise 'the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea' states the impossible outcome before any evidence appears. Faith acts on God's word before seeing results.
