A song about this event begins "Mi Chamocha ba'eleem Adonai" and translates to "Who is like You, O God?" After this event, a woman sings and dances with a tambourine. The pillars of cloud and fire clog the (*) wheels of some chariots during it. The final time that the Lord hardens Pharaoh's heart is in preparation for this event. Miriam sings a verse in Exodus 15 commemorating it. A man holds his staff up over the water during this event, which kills all the Egyptians.
