By what miracle did Israel leave the land of Egypt?

• A. The parting of the Red Sea
• B. The sun standing still
• C. The rain of manna
• D. The pillars of fire guiding them

Answer: (A)

When Israel left Egypt, the defining moment was God miraculously parting the Red Sea so they could walk through on dry ground, escaping Pharaoh’s army as the waters returned to cover them. This deliverance at the outset of the Exodus shows God’s power to rescue His people from oppression. The other miracles happen later in the journey: the sun standing still occurs during a later battle, manna is God’s daily provision in the wilderness, and the pillars of fire (along with a cloud) guide them during their travels. So the miracle that makes their departure possible is the Red Sea parting.
