Hi,
Where is the proof that Israel crossed the Red Sea on Nisan 21?
The Torah teaches us that for 7 days, we shall observe the rules and laws of Pesah. For seven days we shall eat matzah.
Why 7 days?
Seven days commemorates that time between the 10th plague and the resulting Exodus from Egypt which occurred on the 15th day of Nisan and the splitting of the Red Sea – which happened 7 days later on the 21st of Nisan.
