The Songs of Joy (watercolor circa 1896–1902 by James Tissot) Song of the Sea from a Sefer Torah.

The Crossing of the Red Sea, by Nicolas Poussin (1633–34). The Crossing of the Red Sea or Parting of the Red Sea (Hebrew: קריעת ים סוף, romanized: Kriat Yam Suph, lit. "parting of the sea of reeds") [1] is an episode in The Exodus, a foundational story in the Hebrew Bible.
