Exodus, Chapter 14, verses 2-31
2 “Tell the sons of Israel to turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea; you shall camp in front of Baal-zephon, opposite it, by the sea. 3 For Pharaoh will say of the sons of Israel, ‘They are wandering aimlessly in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.’ 4 Thus I willaharden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will chase after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.” And they did so. | |
5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled,bPharaoh and his servants had a change of heart toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?” 6 So he made his chariot ready and took his people with him; 7 and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them. 8 The LORDchardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he chased after the sons of Israel as the sons of Israel were going outdboldly. 9 Then the Egyptians chased after them with all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and they overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon. | |
10 As Pharaoh drew near, the sons of Israelelooked, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they became very frightened; so the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD. 11 Then they said to Moses, “Is it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you dealt with us in this way,fbringing us out of Egypt? 12 Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘gLeave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.” | |
13 But Moses said to the people, “Do not fear!hStand by and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever. 14 The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent.” | |
15 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward. 16 As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shalligo through the midst of the sea on dry land. 17 As for Me, behold, I willjharden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. 18 Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I am honored through Pharaoh, through his chariots and his horsemen.” | |
19 The angel of God, who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them. 20 So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloudkalong with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Thus the one did not come near the other all night. | |
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORDlswept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided. 22 The sons of Israelmwent through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 Then the Egyptians took up the pursuit, and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea. 24 At the morning watch, the LORD looked down on thenarmy of the Egyptiansothrough the pillar of fire and cloud and brought theparmy of the Egyptians into confusion. 25 Heqcaused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians said, “Letrus flee from Israel, for the LORD is fighting for them against the Egyptians.” | |
26 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.” 27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeingsright into it; then the LORDtoverthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen,ueven Pharaoh’s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; not even one of them remained. 29 But the sons of Israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. | |
