Deuteronomy 11:4

4 or what he did to the army of Egypt, including their horses and chariots, when he made the waters of the Red Sea ^{▼▼ Heb “Reed Sea.” “Reed Sea” (or “Sea of Reeds”) is a more accurate rendering of the Hebrew expression יָם סוּף (yam suf), traditionally translated “Red Sea.” See note on the term “Red Sea” in Exod 13:18.} overwhelm them while they were pursuing you and he ^{▼▼ Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.} annihilated them. ^{▼▼ Heb “and the Lord destroyed them to this day” (cf. NRSV); NLT “he has kept them devastated to this very day.” The translation uses the verb “annihilated” to indicate the permanency of the action.}
