Exegesis
The sequence vayiru me'od {וַיִּֽירְאוּ מְאֹד | vayyirʾû mēʾōḏ} ‘and they feared exceedingly’ heightens the tension, and vayitsa'ku {וַיִּצְעֲקוּ֥ | vayyitṣaʿqû} ‘and they cried out,’ framed by bnei Yisra'el, culminates as the people turn el YHWH {אֶל־יְהוָֽה | ʾel־YHWH} ‘to the LORD,’ marking the theological pivot toward divine deliverance.
In context — Exodus 14:10
And Pharaoh drew near, and the sons of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, Egypt was marching after them, and they were greatly afraid, and the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD .
