Explained for Children

Imagine you're at a camping trip and you're a bit scared of the dark. Then, suddenly, you see a big, beautiful light show in the sky. That's kind of like what happened here. The Israelites saw something amazing and powerful, just like a light show, but it was God showing them He was there and taking care of them.

Historical Background
