“By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.”
By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as if on dry land, but when the Egyptians attempted to do so, they were drowned — Israel's crossing (dierchomai) of the sea (thalassa) on dry (xeros) ground depended on faith (pistis); the Egyptians' attempt (peirazō) to follow resulted in drowning (katapino). Same act, opposite outcomes: faith determines salvation or judgment.
