﴿فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَكَانُوا عَنْهَا غَافِلِينَ﴾
[ الأعراف: 136]

7:136 So We took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.

So We exacted retribution from them and therefore We drowned them in the sea al-yamm denotes salty waters for the reason that they denied Our signs and were heedless of them not reflecting upon them.

In consequence, We took just vengeance on them and drowned them in the sea in requital of their denial of Our signs betokening Omnipotence and Authority and their oblivion thereto

The People of Fir`awn drown in the Sea; the Children of Israel inherit the Holy Land Allah states that when the people of Fir`awn rebelled and transgressed, even though He inflicted them with consecutive signs, one after another, He took retribution from them by drowning them in the sea that Musa parted by Allah's power, and he and the Children of Israel passed through.
In their pursuit, Fir`awn and his soldiers went in the sea chasing Musa and his people.
When they all had gone inside the water, the sea closed in on them and they all drowned, because they belied the Ayat of Allah and were heedless of them.
Allah said that He has granted the people who were considered weak, the Children of Israel, to inherit the eastern and western parts of the land.
Al-Hasan Al-Basri and Qatadah commented that Allah's statement, مَشَـرِقَ الاٌّرْضِ وَمَغَـرِبَهَا الَّتِى بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا ( ...the eastern parts of the land and the western parts thereof which We have blessed. ) refers to the Sham area ( Greater Syria ).

And to establish them in the land, and We let Fir`awn and Haman and their hosts receive from them that which they feared) 28:5-6.
