Hebrews 11:29

_ _ they — Moses and Israel.

_ _ Red Sea — called so from its red seaweed, or rather from Edom (meaning “red”), whose country adjoined it.

_ _ which ... assaying to do — Greek, “of which (Red Sea) the Egyptians having made experiment.” Rashness and presumption mistaken by many for faith; with similar rash presumption many rush into eternity. The same thing when done by the believer, and when done by the unbeliever, is not the same thing [Bengel]. What was faith in Israel, was presumption in the Egyptians.

_ _ were drowned — Greek, “were swallowed up,” or “engulfed.” They sank in the sands as much as in the waves of the Red Sea. Compare Exodus 15:12, “the earth swallowed them.”

See commentary on Hebrews 11:4-31.

Hebrews 11:29

They — Moses, Aaron, and the Israelites. Passed the Red Sea — It washed the borders of Edom, which signifies red. Thus far the examples are cited from Genesis and Exodus; those that follow are from the former and the latter Prophets.
