"Moses Commanding the Waters to Close upon the Egyptian Host" (1858) is an oil on canvas painting by Jean-Hippolyte Flandrin, a French artist known for his religious and historical subjects. The painting vividly depicts the climactic biblical scene from the Book of Exodus, in which Moses—acting on divine command—causes the waters of the Red Sea to collapse upon the pursuing Egyptian army, ensuring the Israelites' escape and salvation.
