Answer Details

The occasion referred to in the above statement is when the Lord fought for the people of Israel by drowning the Egyptian army in the Red Sea. In the book of Exodus, the Israelites were being pursued by the Egyptians, but God performed a miracle by parting the Red Sea and allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground. However, when the Egyptians attempted to follow, the waters closed in on them, drowning them all. Therefore, the statement "The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be still" was Moses' encouragement to the Israelites as they witnessed the miraculous defeat of their enemies.
