آخرین مرحلةٌ مبارزه موسی با فرعونیان

این آیه و یه بعد به آخرین بخش از مبارزة موسی(ع) با فرعونیان یعنی برنامة خروج بنی‌اسرائیل از مصر اشاره دارد. بنی‌اسرائیل» آمادةٌ حرکت به سوی سرزمین موعود (فلسطین) شدند؛ اما هنگامی که به کرانه‌های نیل رسیدند» فرعونیان آگاه گشتند و فرعون با لشکری عظیم آنها را تعقیب کرد. آنها خود را در محاصرة دریا و دشمن دیدند. از یک سوء رود عظیم نیل بود و از سوی دیگرء دشمن نیرومند خونخوار و خشمگین؛ اما خواست خدا این بود که آن جمعیت ستم‌کشیده و باایمان را از چنگ ظالمان رهایی بخشد و ستمگران را هلاک کند. نکتةٌ جالب توجه این که نه تنها فرموده راهی در رود نیل گشوده شدء بلکه این راه به فرمان خدا راهی خشک (یَبَسا) بود؛ با این که معمولاً چنین است که اگر آب رودخانه یا دریا کنار برودء تا مدت‌ها از اعماق آن نمی‌توان عبور کرد.
