From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

He turned the sea into dry land -The Red Sea, when he brought his people out of Egypt,Exodus 14:21. This was an illustration of his power, and of his ability to defend and deliver his people. The terror in that case, or that which was “terrible,” was the overthrow of their enemies the destruction of the Egyptians in the Red Sea - thus showing that he had power to destroy all the enemies of his people.
