What does Exodus 15:5 mean?

Moses is leading Israel (Exodus 1:11–14; 12:40–41) in a celebration of Israel's miraculous rescue from Egypt (Exodus 14:5–9). God allowed Israel to cross through a sea over dry land, only to drown the Egyptian army as they attempted to follow (Exodus 14:21–29). The chariots and horsemen (Exodus 14:5–9) tried to escape. But there was no way to avoid the entire sea returning to its natural place. All the attacking soldiers were lost, and Israel could see bodies washing up on the shoreline (Exodus 14:30).
