“The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.”
Exodus 15:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 15:5
The imagery 'the depths have covered them' emphasizes complete drowning. The simile 'they sank into the bottom as a stone' pictures rapid, permanent descent. Egyptian bodies didn't float but sank immediately, ensuring no survival or recovery. The finality of judgment is emphasized—enemies don't merely suffer setback but complete destruction. This fulfilled God's promise of honor through Egypt's defeat.
