Augustine of Hippo, on Exod 14:22
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Exod 14:22 · Douay-Rheims
“And the children of Israel went in through the midst of the sea dried up: for the water was as a wall on their right hand and on their left.”
On this verse:
“This people of God, freed from a great and broad Egypt, is led, as through the Red Sea, that in baptism it may make an end of its enemies. For by the sacrament as it were of the Red Sea, that is by baptism consecrated with the blood of Christ, the pursuing Egyptians, the sins, are washed away.”
