"Bible Crossing the Red Sea" Coloring Page

Bring the awe-inspiring miracle of the Exodus to life with your colors! This page depicts the powerful moment when God parted the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to escape from Pharaoh's army. As you color, imagine the walls of water, the determined people walking on dry ground, and the great deliverance of God.

What is shown in this coloring page?

This illustration is based on the story found in Exodus 14. After enduring ten plagues, Pharaoh finally let the Israelites leave Egypt. But he quickly changed his mind and sent his chariots and army in pursuit. Trapped between the sea and the soldiers, God instructed Moses to stretch out his hand. A strong wind divided the waters, creating a path of dry land for the people to cross safely, while the Egyptian army was later overwhelmed when the waters returned.

How should you color this page?

Use your creativity to fill this scene with color! Here are some suggestions to get you started:

• Sea Waters: Try shades like Deep Sapphire (#0F52BA) and Sea Foam (#93E9BE) for the towering walls of water.
• Dry Ground: Use Sandy Brown (#F4A460) or Khaki (#C3B091) for the path through the sea.
• Sky: Consider a Dusk Sky (#FFA07A) for a dramatic sunset or a Divine Light (#FFFACD) for a miraculous glow.

What are some coloring tips for this page?
