Ibn Ezra on Exodus 14:31/אבן עזרא על שמות י״ד:ל״א

אוירא. כאשר ראו ישראל זו המכה הגדולה יראו מהשם, כמו וירא דוד את ה' ביום ההוא (ש"ב ו ט) במות עוזא אשר שלח ידו בארון:

1FEARED. When Israel saw this great blow they feared God, as in And David was afraid of the Lord that day when Uzzah who put forth his hand to the ark of God died (II Sam. 6:9).

בויאמינו בה'. שהוא אמת, והאמינו במשה שהוא עבדו ולא יעשה רק מה שיצונו:

2AND THEY BELIEVED IN THE LORD. They believed that the Lord is truth¹⁵³ 1:3,4: “The Truth of His being is incomparable to the truth of any other individual being…He alone is the Truth, and no other being possesses a truth similar to His Truth.” and that Moses is His servant and will do only that which the Lord commands him to do.
