21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided,

22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.

This was always my favorite story from the bible, even before The Prince of Egypt came out. To those that are hard core religious, yes I KNOW they went into the desert but the green land is supposed to basically be a literal "The grass is always greener on the other side" type of thing considering the shit they got themselves into afterwards.
