וַיֵּט֩ מֹשֶׁ֨ה אֶת־יָד֜וֹ עַל־הַיָּ֗ם וַיָּ֨שָׁב הַיָּ֜ם לִפְנ֥וֹת בֹּ֙קֶר֙ לְאֵ֣יתָנ֔וֹ וּמִצְרַ֖יִם נָסִ֣ים לִקְרָאת֑וֹ וַיְנַעֵ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־מִצְרַ֖יִם בְּת֥וֹךְ הַיָּֽם׃
Moïse étendit sa main sur la mer et la mer, aux approches du matin, reprit son niveau comme les Égyptiens s’élançaient en avant; et le Seigneur précipita les Égyptiens au sein de la mer.
On the Confusion of Tongues
[70] We have example in the Egyptians, the representatives of those who love the body, who are shewn to us as flying not from the water, but “under the water,” that is under the stream of the passions, and when they are submerged therein they are shaken and wildly disordered; they cast away the stability and peacefulness of virtue and take upon them the confusion of vice. For we are told, “that he shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea, fleeing under the water” (Ex. 14:27).
