The waters
This phrase refers to the miraculous event of the Red Sea parting and then returning to its place, as described in Exodus 14. The Hebrew word for "waters" is "מַיִם" (mayim), which often symbolizes chaos and judgment in the Old Testament. In this context, the waters are instruments of divine intervention, demonstrating God's sovereign power over creation. The parting and subsequent covering of the waters signify God's ability to protect His people and execute judgment on their enemies.

covered
The Hebrew root for "covered" is "כָּסָה" (kasah), which means to conceal or hide. This word emphasizes the totality and completeness of God's judgment against the Egyptians. The covering of the waters signifies the finality of God's deliverance for Israel and the utter defeat of their enemies. It is a vivid illustration of God's protective and redemptive power, ensuring that no trace of the threat remains.

their foes
The term "foes" refers specifically to the Egyptians who pursued the Israelites. In Hebrew, "אֹיֵב" (oyev) is used, meaning enemy or adversary. This highlights the antagonistic relationship between the Egyptians and the Israelites, who were God's chosen people. The foes represent not just physical enemies but also spiritual opposition to God's purposes. The defeat of these foes is a testament to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to His people.

not one of them remained
This phrase underscores the completeness of God's victory. The Hebrew expression "לֹא נִשְׁאַר בָּהֶם" (lo nish'ar bahem) indicates that not a single enemy survived. This total annihilation serves as a powerful reminder of God's ability to deliver His people from seemingly insurmountable odds. It also foreshadows the ultimate victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ, as God ensures that no enemy can stand against His divine will.

Verse 11. - And the waters covered their enemies (see Exodus 14:28-30; Exodus 15:10). There was not one of them left. The words of Exodus 14:28 (last clause) are almost exactly followed. (On the true meaning of the expression, see the 'Pulpit Commentary' on Exodus 14, p. 314.)
