ויט משה את ידו על הים ויולך ה’ את הים ברוח קדים עזה כל הלילה וישם…(בשלח יד:כא)

Moshe stretched out his hand over the sea, and Hashem moved the sea with a strong easterly wind throughout the night.

The Ramban asks why Hashem needed to make a strong wind blow through the night. Why couldn’t Hashem just split the sea? The Ramban answers that Hashem wanted it to appear that the sea split naturally so that the Mitzriyim should follow the Yidden into the sea. They shouldn’t think Hashem split the sea, especially for the Yidden.  A strong wind couldn’t have split the sea, but the Mitzriyim didn’t think; they just chased the Yidden, intending to harm them.
