So why mention Moses' hand for no reason? Part of reading comprehension is understanding why all the words are there, not just some of them.



You are selectively reading, but your interpretation disregards the majority of the relevant sentence and its meaning.


it literally says a deity split the sea. regardless of moses gestures or comments, it credits the deity. not moses.



Since you refuse to read, we must take other scriptures to force your ignorance away or at the very least force you to lie to save face.


"He caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from Israel, for the LORD is fighting for them against the Egyptians." Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen." So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing right into it; then the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.…"



The repetition of Moses stretching his hand over the sea clearly displays some significance and here they are clearly saying God is communicating with Moses and there is some significance to the hand movement. There are other passages that also talk about Moses waving his staff and/or hand for some divine purpose. This is why I kept telling you to explain what the rest of the words in the sentence are there for. You can't just ignore them because you want to selectively choose to comprehend the words after the semi-colon.
