Exodus 14

The Crossing of the Red Sea Bible Crossword

15×15 grid · Easy · Ends on Exodus 14:22

Israel is camped by the sea with an army behind them and no road ahead. Then Moses stretches out his hand, a strong east wind blows all night, and the water stands up like a wall on either side. Crossing the Red Sea builds Exodus 14 into a grid — the pillar of cloud that moved behind them, the chariots that followed, the wheels that came off in the morning watch.

The clues stay with the chapter's own detail rather than the film version, which is what makes the puzzle worth solving: the sea goes back by a strong east wind, and Israel walks on dry ground. The closing verse is the moment the walls of water are named.
