Had He split the Sea for us, and not led us through it on dry land, it would have been enough: Isn’t the whole miracle at the Red Sea that God split the sea and allowed us to cross through the sea? One doesn’t make much sense without the other. So how can we say that it would have been enough for God to have split the sea and not brought us through it? In Deuteronomy 28:68 we learn that there were other ways that God could have brought the Israelites through the Red Sea that did not involve dry ground, “And the Lord shall bring you back to Egypt by ships...” Rather than bring Israel through the sea in a natural fashion, God split the sea and allowed them to cross “on dry ground.” For this we give special thanks to God. Another explanation for this verse of “Dayyenu” is that the miracle was not only that God split the sea and allowed them to cross through the middle of the sea, but God did so “on dry ground.” Even though God split the sea, one would have expected the earth beneath the Red Sea to at least be damp and muddy. Yet God made the sea bed completely dry, thus increasing the miracle of the splitting of the Red Sea even more!
