The Lord our God, He it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went.
(Josh. 24:17)
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
(Ex. 23:20)
And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God, Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day."
Deuteronomy 1:31-33

U.S. Army logistics.
Assuming the number of the children of Israel leaving Egypt was 6,000,000.
Food
1500 tons of food each and every day
This equates to 2 freight trains 1 mile long.
Water
11,000,000. gallons per day
This equates to 1 tanker train 1800 miles in length.
Cooking fuel (wood)
4000 tons per day
In order for this company to pass through the Red Sea in one day, they would have to walk through an opening in the Sea, 3 miles wide, 5000 abreast.
The size of the camp of Israel was 750 Square miles...the size of the state-Rhode Island.
As I pondered these numbers they point to a Great and Almighty Saviour God.
"And He (Jesus) said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing."
Luke 22:35
Hymn 241
Saviour, through the desert lead us,
Without Thee we cannot go;
Thou from cruel chains has freed us,
And hast laid the tyrant low:
Let Thy presence
Cheer us all our journey through.
Through a desert waste and cheerless,
Though our destined journey lie,
Render'd by Thy presence fearless,
We may every foe defy:
Naught shall move us,
While we see Thee, Saviour, nigh.
With a price Thy love has bought us,
(Saviour, what a love is Thine!)
Hitherto Thy power has brought us,
(Power and love in Thee combine):
Lord of glory,
Ever on Thy household shine.
