In the material that's usually associated with P Moses is depicted as stretching out his staff, first to divide the waters which stand like a wall so that the Israelites can cross over on dry land; and then he holds out his staff to bring the waters crashing down on the Egyptians.

在经常能和P材料联系起来的材料中,摩西需要满足他的追随者的要求,第一个便是，水像墙一样立在两旁以便于犹太人,可以从中通过，然后为了保住追随者的性命,他用水淹没了埃及士兵。
