What Does Exodus 14:28 Mean?
The completeness of the judgment is emphasized: not one Egyptian soldier survives. The waters cover both the military technology (chariots) and the soldiers (horsemen and army), leaving no remnant. The victory is total and absolute.
This total destruction is not presented as cruelty but as the necessary removal of the pursuing threat. Pharaoh chose to pursue into the sea; the result is his complete defeat and Egypt's loss of its military force.
