Belief

In Exodus 14, the Israelites pass through the Sea of Reeds. At the beginning of the chapter, God claims that Pharaoh is going to pursue the Israelites once again because "the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD"(v. 4). However, one could claim that the Israelites are the ones who really needed it and the ones who really found belief. Verse 31 says "Israel saw the great work that the LORD did against the Egyptians. So the people feared the LORD and believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses". The Israelites needed the signs, too. They were not fully for the benefit of the Egyptians,  there were proof for even the people of God themselves. Today is busy, so short post.
