| Wisdom 19:7
| For a cloud overshadowed their camp, and where water was before, dry land appeared, and in the Red Sea a way without hinderance, and out of the great deep a springing field:
| Field. Like a meadow, (Calmet) germinans, "growing grass." (Septuagint) (Haydock) --- Pliny ([Natural History?] 13:25.) attests, that "the Red Sea, and all the eastern ocean, are full of wood." The Hebrews passed with as much ease as in a desert, (Psalm 105:9., and Isaias 63:13.) or place of pasture, while the sea seemed to be in quest of other channels. (Calmet) (Genesis 1:9.) (Haydock)
