Berean Standard Bible
And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
Then
the LORD said
to
Moses,
Speak
unto
the children
of
Israel,
that
they
turn and encamp before Pihahiroth
, between Migdol and the sea ,
over
against
Baalzephon:
before
it
shall
ye
encamp by the sea.
“Tell
the Israelites
to
turn back
and encamp before Pi-hahiroth
, between Migdol and the sea .
You
are
to
encamp by the sea ,
directly
opposite
Baal-zephon
.
For Pharaoh will say of the children
of
Israel
, They are entangled
in
the land ,
the wilderness hath
shut
them in.
For Pharaoh will say of the Israelites
, ‘
They are wandering
the land in
confusion;
the wilderness has
boxed
them in. ’
And I will harden Pharaoh's
heart ,
that he shall
follow
after
them ;
and
I will be
honored
upon
Pharaoh ,
and upon
all his host;
that
the Egyptians may
know that I am the LORD. And
they
did
so.
And I will harden Pharaoh’s
heart so
that he will
pursue
them .
But
I will gain
honor
by
means
of
Pharaoh and all his army,
and
the Egyptians will
know that I am the LORD. ”
So this
is
what
the
Israelites
did
.
And
it
was
told
the king of Egypt that the people fled :
and
the
heart
of
Pharaoh and of
his servants
was
turned
against
the
people,
and they
said, Why
have we done this,
that
we have let
Israel go
from serving us ?
When
the king of Egypt was
told
that the people had
fled ,
Pharaoh and his officials
changed
their
minds
about
them
and said, “What
have we done ?
We have released
Israel from serving us .”
And
he
made
ready
his chariot ,
and took his people
with him :
So
Pharaoh
prepared
his chariot and took his army
with him .
And
he took six
hundred
chosen
chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and
captains
over every
one
of them.
He took 600
of
the
best
chariots, and all the other
chariots of Egypt, with
officers
over all
of them.
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and
he pursued after
the children
of
Israel:
and
the
children
of
Israel
went
out with
an
high
hand
.
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so
that
he pursued the Israelites,
who
were
marching
out defiantly
.
But
the Egyptians pursued
after
them,
all the
horses and chariots of
Pharaoh
, and
his
horsemen ,
and his
army,
and overtook them encamping
by the sea ,
beside
Pihahiroth
, before
Baalzephon
.
The Egyptians —
all Pharaoh’s
horses and chariots, horsemen and troops—pursued
the
Israelites
and overtook them as
they
camped
by the sea near
Pi-hahiroth
, opposite
Baal-zephon
.
And
when
Pharaoh drew
nigh
, the children
of
Israel
lifted
up their
eyes,
and ,
behold,
the Egyptians marched
after them ;
and they were sore
afraid:
and the
children
of
Israel
cried out unto
the LORD.
As
Pharaoh approached
, the Israelites
looked
up and saw
the Egyptians marching
after them ,
and they were terrified
and cried out to
the LORD.
And
they said unto
Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt ,
hast
thou
taken
us away
to
die
in
the wilderness? wherefore
hast
thou
dealt
thus
with
us,
to carry
us forth
out of Egypt?
They said to
Moses, “Was
it
because there were no graves in Egypt that
you
brought
us into
the wilderness to
die
? What
have
you
done
to us by
bringing
us
out of Egypt?
Is
not
this
the
word
that
we
did tell
thee
in Egypt, saying,
Let
us alone ,
that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had
been better for us to serve the Egyptians ,
than that
we
should
die in the wilderness.
Did we
not
say
to
you
in Egypt, ‘Leave
us alone so
that we may serve the Egyptians ’
? For it would
have
been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to
die in the wilderness. ”
And
Moses said
unto
the people, Fear
ye
not ,
stand still,
and see the salvation of
the
LORD
, which he will show
to
you to
day:
for the Egyptians whom
ye
have
seen
to
day
, ye
shall
see them
again no
more
for
ever
.
But
Moses told
the people, “Do
not be
afraid.
Stand firm
and you
will
see the LORD’s
salvation, which He will accomplish
for
you today;
for the Egyptians you
see
today
, you
will
never
see again.
The LORD shall
fight for you ,
and
ye
shall
hold
your
peace
.
The LORD will
fight for you ;
you
need
only
to
be
still
. ”
And
the LORD said unto
Moses, Wherefore
criest
thou
unto
me? speak
unto
the children
of
Israel,
that
they
go forward :
Then
the LORD said to
Moses, “Why
are
you
crying
out
to
Me? Tell
the Israelites
to
go forward .
But
lift thou
up thy
rod,
and stretch out thine
hand over the sea ,
and divide it :
and
the children
of
Israel
shall
go on
dry
ground
through the midst
of
the
sea.
And
as
for
you,
lift up your
staff
and stretch out your
hand over the sea and divide it ,
so
that
the Israelites
can
go through the sea on
dry
ground
.
And I ,
behold,
I
will harden the hearts of the Egyptians ,
and
they shall
follow
them :
and
I will get
me
honor upon
Pharaoh ,
and upon
all his host,
upon
his
chariots ,
and upon
his
horsemen.
And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so
that
they will
go
in
after
them .
Then
I will gain
honor by
means
of
Pharaoh and all his army
and
chariots and horsemen.
And
the Egyptians shall
know that I am the LORD ,
when I have
gotten
me
honor
upon
Pharaoh, upon
his chariots, and upon
his horsemen.
The Egyptians will
know that I am the LORD when I am
honored
through
Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen. ”
And the angel of God, which
went
before the camp of Israel, removed
and went behind them ;
and
the pillar of the
cloud went
from before their
face,
and stood behind them :
And the angel of God, who
had
gone
before the camp of Israel, withdrew
and went behind them .
The pillar of cloud also
moved
from before them
and stood behind them ,
And
it came between the camp
of the
Egyptians
and the
camp
of
Israel ;
and
it
was
a
cloud and
darkness to
them
, but it gave
light
by
night to
these:
so that
the
one
came
not
near the other all
the
night
.
so
that
it came between the camps
of Egypt
and Israel .
The
cloud was
there
in
the
darkness, but it lit
up
the
night .
So all
night
long
neither
camp
went
near the other.
And
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea ;
and the LORD caused
the sea to
go
back
by
a strong east wind all
that night,
and
made
the
sea
dry land ,
and
the waters were divided .
Then
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea ,
and all
that
night
the LORD drove
back
the sea with
a strong east wind that turned
it
into
dry land .
So
the waters were divided ,
And the children
of
Israel
went into
the
midst
of
the sea upon
the
dry ground :
and
the
waters
were
a
wall
unto
them
on their right hand,
and on their left.
and the Israelites
went through
the sea on
dry ground ,
with
walls
of
water
on their right and on their left.
And the Egyptians pursued,
and
went
in
after them to
the
midst
of
the
sea,
even
all Pharaoh's
horses, his
chariots, and his
horsemen.
And the Egyptians chased
after them —
all Pharaoh’s
horses, chariots, and horsemen —and
followed
them
into
the
sea
.
And
it
came
to
pass,
that
in
the
morning watch the LORD looked unto
the host
of the Egyptians through
the pillar of fire and of
the
cloud, and troubled
the
host
of
the
Egyptians,
At
morning watch ,
however,
the LORD looked down
on
the army
of the Egyptians from
the pillar of fire and cloud, and He
threw
their
camp
into
confusion.
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.
He
caused
their chariot wheels to
wobble
, so that they
had
difficulty
driving.
“
Let us flee from the Israelites,”
said
the
Egyptians,
“
for the LORD is
fighting
for them against Egypt!”
And
the LORD said unto
Moses, Stretch out thine
hand over the sea, that the waters may come
again
upon
the Egyptians ,
upon
their chariots ,
and upon
their
horsemen.
Then
the LORD said to
Moses, “
Stretch out your
hand over the sea, so
that the waters may flow
back
over
the Egyptians and
their chariots and horsemen. ”
And
Moses stretched forth
his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his
strength
when
the
morning
appeared;
and
the Egyptians fled
against
it;
and
the LORD overthrew
the
Egyptians
in
the
midst
of
the sea.
So
Moses stretched out
his hand over the sea, and at
daybreak
the sea returned to its
normal
state.
As
the Egyptians were
retreating,
the LORD swept
them
into
the sea.
And
the waters returned,
and covered the chariots ,
and the
horsemen ,
and
all
the host
of Pharaoh that came
into the sea after
them;
there
remained
not so
much
as
one of them.
The waters flowed
back
and covered the chariots and horsemen —
the entire
army
of Pharaoh that had
chased
the
Israelites
into the sea .
Not one of them survived
.
But the children
of
Israel
walked upon
dry
land
in
the
midst
of
the sea ;
and
the
waters
were
a
wall
unto
them
on their right hand,
and on their left.
But the Israelites
had
walked through
the sea on dry
ground,
with
walls
of
water
on
their right and on their left.
Thus
the LORD saved Israel that
day
out
of
the hand of the Egyptians ;
and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon
the sea
shore.
That
day
the LORD saved Israel from
the hand of the Egyptians ,
and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on
the shore.
And
Israel saw that
great work
which
the LORD did
upon
the Egyptians :
and
the people feared the LORD ,
and believed the
LORD,
and his servant Moses.
When
Israel saw the
great power
that
the LORD had
exercised
over
the Egyptians ,
the people feared the LORD and believed in
Him
and in
His servant Moses.
