Had He not split the sea…it would have been enough: How is it possible to say that it would have been sufficient for God to perform some of these miracles such as judging the gods of Egypt and killing the first born but not splitting the Red Sea? What would have been the point of the redemption with out the splitting of the sea? Rabbi Ashkenazi suggests that even had God not split the sea there were other ways that he could have crossed the Red Sea (boats for instance). So had he preformed all these other miracles but provided us with a more natural way of crossing the sea it certainly would have been enough. But why would the miracle of the splitting been enough if this is all God had done? The splitting of the sea proved God’s divinity to the entire world. According to a Midrash not only did the Sea split but all bodies of water split at the moment proving to all people God’s awesome power.
