Thank you, Vadim.  I check and found that the wheels of the chariots were 
clogged so that their chariots became difficult to drive.  It's funny how we 
can 
read things and overlook a simple little statement, sixty years reading and I 
never saw this.  My paraphrase, Israel walked on dry gound but the Egyptians 
found themselves in mud.  Very good.
