The "Parting of the Red Sea" is a biblical event described in the Book of Exodus, where Moses leads the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. As they flee, they encounter the Red Sea, which blocks their escape. According to the narrative, God commands Moses to stretch out his hand over the sea, causing the waters to part and create a dry path for the Israelites to cross. After the Israelites safely reach the other side, the waters return, drowning the pursuing Egyptian army. This event is significant in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions, symbolizing liberation and divine intervention.
