    In Acts 7:36, the dative singular feminine form occurs in the setting of wonders and signs, where the APB renders “at the Red Sea.” In Hebrews 11:29, the accusative singular feminine form occurs with the people's crossing, and the APB renders “crossed the Red Sea as on dry land.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the phrase as “at the Red Sea” in Acts 7:36 and “crossed the Red Sea” in Hebrews 11:29. These render the verse clauses rather than isolating the adjective by itself.
