Gill's Notes on the Bible
And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on dry land,.... That is, the Israelites, see Exodus 14:21,
and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps; with great ease, and with indignation, meaning the Egyptians, that pursued hotly after them, and were thrown into the sea:
as a stone into the mighty waters; where they sunk and perished, see
Exodus 15:4.
