Soon after the Israelites leave Egypt he regretted the decision and ordered his army to capture them. The soldiers caught up with them at the Red Sea. God told Moses to lift his staff. As he did, a strong wind drove back the sea and left a part for the Israelites to cross. The Egyptians came after them but the sea closed on them and they started to drown. Miriam led the women in song and dance, thanking God for saving their lives.
