Analysis & Commentary

Moses' response—'Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD'—commands both negative (don't fear) and positive (stand firm) actions. The phrase 'see the salvation' (yeshu'at YHWH, יְשׁוּעַת יְהוָה) calls them to witness divine deliverance. The promise regarding Egyptians: 'whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever' predicts complete victory. Salvation requires faith to cease anxious activity and watch God work.

Historical Context

Moses' confidence despite circumstances demonstrates his faith in God's promises. His command to 'stand still' required Israel to resist panic and wait for God's timing rather than attempt escape.
