Today in the Bible, according to tradition, is the date that Pharaoh’s army caught up with the Israelites as they fled from Egypt.

The Egyptians–all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops–pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon.
