And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
Exodus 14:
“Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward...”
You might say that what God was telling Moses was: “I want my people to ADVANCE.”
