Exodus 14:25

Took off their chariot wheels.

Their chariots were entangled with each other, bemired, broken, and overturned in the awful confusion that ensued from the pouring rains, blinding lightnings and appalling thunders. Chariots were the principal strength of an ancient Egyptian army, as we learn from the testimony of the monuments, which exhibit no kind of military force but war-chariots and infantry, no cavalry, properly so-called, that is, warriors on horseback; but few horsemen are at all represented on the monuments, and these are not Egyptians, but foreigners. In. hot pursuit like this, the infantry could, from the nature of the case, take no part, and there being no mounted cavalry, the matter was left entirely to the chariot-warriors.-- Kitto.

The Septuagint renders the word "took off" "bound" or clogged,. probable meaning, and perhaps more suited to the context.-- Canon Cook. The Egyptians said. " Egypt, " or " the Egyptians, said, Let us flee; " indicating that they were as unanimous in making this declaration as if they had been one man. They were thoroughly alarmed.
