Exegesis
The narrative culminates in wayyaʿaś YHWH tĕšûʿāh gĕḏōlāh {וַיַּעַשׂ יְהוָה תְּשׁוּעָה גְדוֹלָה | wayyaʿaś YHWH tĕšûʿāh gĕḏōlāh} ‘and the LORD made a great victory’, where wayyaʿaś functions idiomatically to denote divine accomplishment, and the compound tĕšûʿāh gĕḏōlāh intensifies the sense of overwhelming deliverance.
