“And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.”
And when your fathers cried out to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians and brought the sea upon them and covered them. And your eyes saw what I did to Egypt. And you lived in the wilderness a long time — The narrative of deliverance continues: darkness, sea destruction, wilderness wandering. The phrase 'your eyes saw what I did' (wattir'û ʾet-ʾāšer-ʿāśîtî) emphasizes that the people witnessed divine action; covenant is grounded in historical experience.
