Gill's Notes on the Bible

He divided the sea,.... The Targum adds,

"by the rod of Moses their master;''

which he was ordered to lift up, and to stretch out his hand over the sea; which he did, and at the same time a strong east wind was raised, which caused the sea to go back, and divided the waters of it; see

Exodus 14:16

and caused them to pass through; that is, he caused the Israelites to pass through the sea; this they did in faith, Hebrews 11:29, in the faith of the power and promise of God, and of future grace and blessings, which this was an emblem of; for it was a representation of baptism, and is so called, 1 Corinthians 10:1 and of the sea of Christ's blood, or of his sufferings and death; whereby all enemies are overcome and destroyed, as sin and Satan, signified by the Egyptians, and salvation is wrought, and every blessing of grace procured; and of the passage of God's people through the sea of this world, and afflictions in it, safe to glory:

and he made the waters to stand as an heap; and were as a wall on the right hand and on the left hand so they continued until the Israelites had passed through; and then they returned, and covered the Egyptians, and drowned them, Exodus 14:22.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He divided the sea ... - The Red Sea. Exodus 14:21-22.

And he made the waters to stand as an heap - The word rendered “heap” means anything piled up, or a mound; and the idea is, that the waters were piled up on each side of them as a “mound.” See the notes at Psalms 33:7. Compare Joshua 3:13, Joshua 3:16; Exodus 15:8.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 78:13. He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through — The reader is requested to consult the notes on the parallel passages marked in the margin on this verse and Psalms 78:14-17, &c., where all these miracles are largely explained.
