Then the Egyptians will know
This phrase signifies a future revelation to the Egyptians, a people who worshiped a pantheon of gods. The Hebrew word for "know" is "yada," which implies an intimate understanding or recognition. In this context, it suggests that the Egyptians will come to a profound realization of the true God, Yahweh, through the events that are about to unfold. Historically, the Egyptians were known for their advanced civilization and religious practices, yet this moment is pivotal as it challenges their beliefs and demonstrates the supremacy of the God of Israel.

that I am the LORD
The phrase "I am the LORD" is a declaration of God's identity and sovereignty. The Hebrew name used here is "Yahweh," which is the personal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name signifies God's eternal existence and unchanging nature. In the context of Exodus, it is a powerful reminder to both the Israelites and the Egyptians that Yahweh is the one true God, distinct from the multitude of Egyptian deities.

when I am honored
The word "honored" in Hebrew is "kabad," which can also mean to be glorified or made heavy with respect. This indicates that God's actions will lead to His glorification. The events at the Red Sea are not just acts of deliverance for Israel but are also meant to display God's power and authority to the world. This glorification is not just for the benefit of Israel but serves as a testimony to all nations of God's might and justice.

through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen
Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen represent the military might and pride of Egypt. In ancient times, chariots were a symbol of power and technological advancement in warfare. By mentioning these specifically, the text highlights the futility of human strength against divine will. The historical context shows that Egypt was a dominant force in the ancient Near East, yet even their greatest military assets are no match for the power of God. This serves as a humbling lesson that no earthly power can stand against the purposes of the LORD.

Verse 18. - The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. All Egypt would learn the destruction of the host, and the circumstances under which it occurred, whose miraculous nature could not be concealed. And the consequence would be a wide recognition of the superior might of Jehovah, the God of Israel, over that of any of the Egyptian deities. More than this the Egyptians were not likely to admit under any circumstances.
