Moses and the Path Through the Sea

About this book

When the sea is in front of you and danger is behind you, who do you trust?Moses and the Path Through the Sea retells one of the most beloved stories of the Bible in simple, comforting words for young readers. Guided by a tall cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, God's people follow Moses out of Egypt until they reach the edge of the sea, with Pharaoh's army closing in behind them.They are frightened. They are stuck. But Moses tells them, "Do not be afraid!" Then a strong east wind blows, the waters stand up like walls, and a dry path opens through the middle of the sea.This book is fully bilingual.
