The recollection 'Was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to cross over?' recalls the Red Sea exodus as prototype of divine redemptive power. This verse invokes Israel's foundational salvation memory to warrant confidence in God's ability to restore exiles. The image of the sea becoming a highway reverses the natural order, demonstrating that nothing is impossible for divine power. Exodus theology becomes framework for understanding restoration.
