In Exodus 14:25, RSV, NRSV, the Message version, and ESV push the lie that the Egyptians' chariot wheels were somehow clogged instead of being took off of the chariots!
Exodus 14:25 KJB (King James Bible)
[25] and took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.β

Exodus 14:25 RSV (Revised Standard Version)
clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily; and the Egyptians said, βLet us flee from before Israel; for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.ββπ°
Exodus 14:25 NRSV (New Revised Standard Version)
He clogged their chariot wheels so that they turned with difficulty. The Egyptians said, βLet us flee from the Israelites, for the Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.ββπ°
Exodus 14:25 MSG (the Message version)
He clogged the wheels of their chariots; they were stuck in the mud. The Egyptians said, βRun from Israel! God is fighting on their side and against Egypt!ββπ°
Exodus 14:25 ESV (English Standard Version)
clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, βLet us flee from before Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.ββπ°
The chariot wheels were took off (KJB), not clogged (RSV, NRSV, Message, ESV), by God, because when they are "took off" only, chariot wheels can only be stopped, drave heavily, and not be able to move towards Moses and the face of Israel of the Old Testament [in Exodus] who walked through the Red Sea, thus paving the way for the Egyptians to want to flee.
Also, its important to note that a solid object, like a chariot wheel, can only be took off (which matches with the KJB), not clogged (which RSV, NRSV, the Message, ESV); because a solid object such as a chariot wheel has no fillable areas/parts to clog, but can only be phsyical took off.
Discard the RSV, NRSV, Message version, and ESV, and use, get, and read the words of the KJB instead.
