Matthew Poole and continuators on Hebrews 11:29

The same Faith enabled Moses eminently, and those other Believers, as Aaron, Caleb, Ioshua, &c. for all Israel believed not, 1 Cor. 10.5. yet for the Faithful's sake were they kept from drowning, after Moses had, at God's command, (when the Israelites were ready to be fallen on by the Egyptians) lifted up his Rod, and stretched his Hand over the Red-Sea, when God immediately, by an East-wind, divided it, made the Waters to stand up on each side like Walls of Chrystal, and the bottom of it to be dry; then entred Moses and Israel into the empty and dry space, and walked through it on dry Ground, and not a Soul of Israel miscarryed, but might see astonishing Power and Mercy in it; Exod. ch. 14.22.

In the mean time the Egyptians, with their King, pursuing Israel for their Ruine, find their own, for presumptuously adventuring to pursue them through this miraculous space, guided by Sense, and not by Faith, and thinking to pass as safe as Israel, when they had no Word for it, God troubles them by his Angels in their mot[illegible: 1 letter]on, makes them drive heavily; and having brought them into his Pit in the midst of the Channel, the Chrystal-Walls dissolve, and the Waters returning to their fluid Nature, quickly overwhelm'd and swallowed up all that Host, so as not one of these unbelieving, presumptuous, persecuting Wretches escaped. God's great Work in this, as to Israel, had a double meaning; literal, their Salvation from the Egyptians; mystical, their baptismal Initiation into the Covenant of God by Moses; tho all of them had not Faith unfeigned, yet professed Faith in God; and the Doctrine Moses brought from him, was accounted sufficient to attain both, 1 Cor. 10.2.
