Berean Standard Bible
And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
Speak
unto
the children
of
Israel,
that
they
turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth
, between Migdol and the sea ,
before
Baal-zephon:
over
against
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
.
And
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 ,
and
he shall
follow
after
them ;
and
I will get
me
honor upon
Pharaoh ,
and upon
all his host:
and the Egyptians shall
know that I am Jehovah
. 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 were
fled :
and
the
heart
of
Pharaoh and of
his servants
was
changed towards
the
people,
and they
said, What is
this
we
have done ,
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 all of them.
He took 600
of
the
best
chariots, and all the other
chariots of Egypt, with
officers
over all of them.
And Jehovah
hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and
he pursued after
the children
of
Israel:
for
the
children
of
Israel
went
out with
a
high
hand
.
And the
LORD
hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so
that
he pursued the Israelites,
who
were
marching
out defiantly
.
And
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
Baal-zephon.
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 were
marching after them ;
and they were sore
afraid:
and the
children
of
Israel
cried out unto
Jehovah
.
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 bring
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 spake
unto
thee
in Egypt, saying,
Let
us alone ,
that we may serve the Egyptians? For it were
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
Jehovah
, which he will work
for 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.
Jehovah
will fight for you ,
and
ye
shall
hold
your
peace
.
The
LORD
will fight for you ;
you
need
only
to
be
still
. ”
And
Jehovah
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.
And lift thou
up thy
rod,
and stretch out thy
hand over the sea ,
and divide it :
and
the children
of
Israel
shall
go into
the
midst
of
the sea on dry ground.
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
go in after 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 Jehovah,
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, who went
before the camp of Israel, removed
and went behind them ;
and
the pillar of cloud removed
from before them ,
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 Egypt and the
camp
of
Israel ;
and
there
was
the cloud and
the darkness, yet
gave
it light
by
night:
and
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 Jehovah
caused
the sea
to
go
`
back '
by
a strong east wind all
the
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 into
the
midst
of
the
sea,
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
in
the
morning watch, that
Jehovah
looked forth
upon
the host
of the Egyptians through
the pillar of fire and of
cloud, and discomfited
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
he took
off
their chariot wheels, and
they
drove
them
heavily;
so that the
Egyptians
said,
Let us flee from the face
of
Israel;
for Jehovah
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
Jehovah
said unto
Moses, Stretch out thy
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 its strength
when
the
morning
appeared;
and
the
Egyptians
fled
against
it;
and
Jehovah
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 ,
even
all
the host
of Pharaoh that went
in
after
them
into the sea ;
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
Jehovah
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 the great work
which
Jehovah
did
upon
the Egyptians, and
the people feared Jehovah:
and they
believed in Jehovah,
and in 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.
