Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Exodus 14:30

Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. — On one who saw this sight it would be likely to make a great impression; to after generations it was nothing, since it had no further consequences. That it is recorded indicates the pen of an eyewitness.
