The Power and Majesty of God, was with, and upon those clouds and winds, which went before his people, to part those mighty waters, that they might pass dry: And therefore they are called his saving chariots, because by them his people were delivered.

Or by horses and chariots here, you may understand the Angels, who are the Host of God. Psal. 68. 17. The chariots of God are twenty thousands, even thousands of Angels, They have appeared as horses and chariots of fire, 2 Kings 6. 17. And their Ministry no doubt the Lord used in these mighty works of drying Rivers, and dividing Seas. Either way, the glorious Power and Majesty of God, in his delivering instruments, is set forth.
