Perhaps the point is that the path seems to have been muddy, or soft sand, enough for the Egyptian chariots to get stuck. Of course that could have been a separate miracle, but the simplest explanation is that the path across the bottom of the sea was suitable for foot traffic but not for wheeled traffic - and if not for the Egyptians' light chariots, certainly not for heavy oxcarts.
I'd have to largely agree with Peter on this one. The miracles of
the exodus account are charateristically recorded and so there is
no need to read more miracles into the story than those already
recorded for our benefit.
Anyway, who said the path through the Red Sea was muddy? I thought
the whole miracle was that Yah parted the waters and left and left
dry terrain to cross.
