Nisan 21 is the anniversary of when Jacob left his father in law Laban's home with Rachel and Leah, headed for the promised land
also of when Moses left Midian after the burning bush meeting with the Lord
also of when God parted the sea for Israel to cross over,

21 Nisan this year is on April 16 by the hebcal calendar, the 7th day of Passover
21 Nisan - Shvii Shel Pesach / Seventh Day of Pesach

21 Nisan 2206 - 1556 B.C.E.: Yaakov left Lavan's home for the Holy Land.

21 Nisan: Paroh's decree against Jewish male infants was canceled.

21 Nisan 2446 - 1314 B.C.E.: Moshe Rabbeinu leaves Midian. After seven days of contention with Hashem at the burning bush (see 15 Nisan), Moshe assumed the mission of taking the Children of Israel out of Egypt. Taking leave of his father-in-law, Yitro / Jethro, he placed his wife and children on a donkey and set out for Egypt to demand of Pharaoh, "Let My people go!"

21 Nisan 2448 - 1312 B.C.E.: On the eve of the seventh day after the Exodus from Mitzrayim / Egypt, the Children of Israel found themselves trapped between the Egyptian army and cavalry pursuing them from behind and the waters of the Red Sea before them. Hashem commanded Moshe: "Speak to the Children of Israel, that they should move forward!" Nachshon ben Aminadav of the tribe of Yehudah was the first to jump into the sea; the water split, and "the children of Israel walked across on the dry land in the midst of the sea." All that night, a pillar of fire intervened between the Egyptians and the Israelites. When the Egyptians followed, the waters returned to their natural state and place drowning Pharaoh's troops. The Children of Israel sang the Shira - "the Song at the Sea" in praise and gratitude to Hashem. To this day, the final days of Pesach are a special holiday, commemorating the splitting of the sea. The people of Israel then entered the Shur desert.
