Fol. 20:

The Israelites, led by Moses with his golden rod held high, pass through the midst of the waters. To the left a gold-winged angel on top of a pillar of fire. To the right, another angel on top of a pillar of cloud.

Inscribed above the angel:

ואשא אתכם על כנפי נשרים

ואביא אתכם בין הגזרים

“I carried you on eagles’ wings (Ex. 19:4) and brought you between the divided (sea) (Gen. 15:17).”

Near the column:

העמוד של נורא תהי(לה)

האיר לישר' בלילה

“The column of (God) awesome in praise, gave light to the Israelites by night.” (≠ Ex. 13.21)

Inscribed near Moses:

 

לחרבה בקע משה המים

וינער כל מצרים

“Moses divided the water and made it dry land (≠ Ex.14:21), and overthrew all the Egyptians (≠ Ex. 14:27).”

Near the angel on the right:

ויסע מלאך אלהי' לפניהם

ויסע עמוד ענן מאחוריהם

“The angel of God went before them, and the pillar of cloud went behind them (≠ Ex. 14:19).”
