Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
And so I revealed to Moses commanding him to strike the sea with his staff, which he did. The sea parted, turning into twelve paths: the same number as the tribes of the Israelites, and each parted segment was like a great mountain in its grandeur and stability, such that no water flowed from it.
