A crisis, one of many in the Exodus story, finds the newly free slaves camped by the sea -- the Red Sea, or if you prefer, the Sea of Reeds. Back in his capital, Pharaoh and his advisors have a sudden reversal of attitude: What did we do? Plagues or no plagues, how could we send our slaves away, to serve us no more!
