23, 26-28. Pursuit of Israel Closed Egyptians’ Probation—When the whole army,—“all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen,”—were in the very bed of the sea, the Lord said unto Moses, “Stretch out thy rod over the sea.” Israel had passed over on dry land, but they heard the shouting of he armies in pursuit. As Moses stretched out his rod over the sea, the embanked waters that had stood as a great wall, rolled on in their natural course. Of all the men of Egypt in that vast army, not one escaped. All perished in their determination to have their own way and to refuse God’s way. That occasion was the end of their probation (Manuscript 35, 1906).{1BC 1101.7}

23, 26-28. Israels forfølgelser afsluttede ægypternes prøvetid. - Da hele æren, - “alle Faraos heste, hans vogne og hans riddere," - var ude på havbunden, sagde Herren til Moses: ”Ræk din hånd ud over havet.” Israel skulle gå på tør grund, men de hørte hørernes råb i deres jagt. Og Moses rakte sin stav ud over havet, og de opstillede vande som havde stået som en stor mur, rullede tilbage til deres naturlige sted. Af alle Ægyptens mænd i den umådelige hær, var ikke en eneste undflyet. Alle gik tabt i deres opsætsighed på at gå deres egen vej og afvise Guds vej. Dette var afslutningen på deres prøvetid (MS 35, 1906).
