What Does Psalms 136:14 Mean?
Having divided the sea, God then enabled Israel to walk through safely. The divided waters formed walls on either side, creating a protected passage. This required not only the miracle of division but also the sustaining of the water in that state while all of Israel passed through.
Walking on dry ground where water normally flowed represents a complete reversal of natural conditions. The people moved from fear and despair at the sea's edge to confidence in God's protection. This direct, personal experience of divine care became foundational to Israel's faith.
