THE DICTIONARY — Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897)

ba’al parash, “master of a horse.” The “horsemen” mentioned Exodus 14:9 were “mounted men”, i.e., men who rode in chariots. The army of Pharaoh consisted of a chariot and infantry force. We find that at a later period, however, the Egyptians had cavalry (2 Chronicles 12:3). (See HORSE.)
