Here's the exact quote: Exodus 14:21 says, "And Moses stretched out his
hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong
east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were
divided." KJV

I guess whoever wrote that book was no sailor.

Except the exact quote was written in Aramaic, not English so the
translator could have been wrong.
