Deuteronomy 11:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 (A) And when the Egyptian army chased you in their chariots, you saw the Lord drown them and their horses in the Red Sea.[a] Egypt still suffers from that defeat!
5 You saw what the Lord did for you while you were in the desert, right up to the time you arrived here. 6 (B) And you saw how the Lord made the ground open up in the middle of our camp underneath the tents of Dathan and Abiram,[b] who were swallowed up along with their families, their animals, and their tents.

- 11.4 Red Sea: Hebrew yam suph, “Sea of Reeds,” one of the marshes or fresh water lakes near the eastern part of the Nile Delta. This identification is based on Exodus 13.7—14.9, which lists towns on the route of the Israelites before crossing the sea. In the Greek translation of the Scriptures made about 200 b.c., the “Sea of Reeds” was named “Red Sea.”
- 11.6 Dathan and Abiram: Hebrew “Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab from the Reuben tribe.”
Deuteronomy 11:4-6
New International Version
4 what he did to the Egyptian army, to its horses and chariots,(A) how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the Red Sea[a](B) as they were pursuing you, and how the Lord brought lasting ruin on them. 5 It was not your children who saw what he did for you in the wilderness until you arrived at this place, 6 and what he did(C) to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened(D) its mouth right in the middle of all Israel and swallowed them up with their households, their tents and every living thing that belonged to them.
