Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Exodus 14:27

_ _ Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, etc. — What circumstances could more clearly demonstrate the miraculous character of this transaction than that at the waving of Moses’ rod, the dividing waters left the channel dry, and on his making the same motion on the opposite side, they returned, commingling with instantaneous fury? Is such the character of any ebb tide?

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Exodus 14:21-31.
