Exegesis
The nominal construct sus par‘oh {ס֨וּס פַּרְעֹ֜ה | sûs pâr-ōʼ} ‘the horse of Pharaoh’ serves as the subject to the vav-consecutive Hiphil verb va-yashev {וַיָּ֧שֶׁב | way-yā-šeb} ‘and caused to return’.
In context — Exodus 15:19
For when the horse of Pharaoh entered the sea with his chariot and his horsemen , the LORD turned back the waters of the sea; but the sons of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea.
