It has been written that the Passover was the foreshadowing of the cross. The lamb would be slaughtered as the substitute for the Israelites’ first-born sons. Israel would be freed from death AND bondage that night. The crossing of the Red Sea has been compared to the Resurrection. As the Sea was parted for the Israelites to cross through, Jesus would rise and defeat death opening the gates of heaven for His followers to enter. Also, that day their enemies would be defeated. If that is the case, it’s only fitting that the Israelites would sing a song of praise and thanksgiving to God as they rejoiced on the other side of the Sea.
