YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And
Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Moses, saying,
“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.
`Speak
unto
the sons
of
Israel,
and
they
turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea ,
before
Baal-Zephon;
over-against
it
ye
do
encamp by the sea,
For
Pharaoh will
say
of the Israelites
, ‘
They are wandering
the land in
confusion;
the wilderness has
boxed
them in.’
and
Pharaoh hath
said
of the sons
of
Israel
, They are entangled
in
the land ,
the wilderness hath
shut
upon
them ;
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 I have
strengthened
the
heart of
Pharaoh,
and
he hath
pursued
after
them ,
and
I am
honoured
on
Pharaoh ,
and on
all his force
, and the Egyptians have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah;'
and
they
do
so.
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
it
is
declared
to
the king of Egypt that the people hath
fled, and
the
heart
of
Pharaoh and of
his servants
is
turned
against
the
people,
and they
say
, `
What `is'
this
we have
done? that
we have sent
Israel away
from our
service
. '
So
Pharaoh
prepared
his chariot and took
his army
with him .
And
he
harnesseth
his chariot ,
and his people
he
hath
taken
with him ,
He took
600
of
the
best
chariots, and
all the other
chariots of Egypt, with
officers
over all
of
them .
and
he taketh
six
hundred
chosen
chariots, even
all the chariots of Egypt, and
captains
over them all;
And the
LORD
hardened
the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so
that
he pursued
the Israelites
, who
were
marching
out defiantly.
and Jehovah
strengtheneth
the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and
he pursueth
after
the sons
of
Israel
, and
the
sons
of
Israel
are
going
out with
a
high
hand,
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
the Egyptians pursue
after
them,
and
all the
chariot
horses of
Pharaoh
, and his
horsemen,
and his
force,
overtake
them ,
encamping
by the sea ,
by
Pi-Hahiroth, before
Baal-Zephon.
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
Pharaoh hath
drawn
near
, and
the sons
of
Israel
lift
up their
eyes,
and lo,
the Egyptians are
journeying
after them, and they fear
exceedingly,
and the sons
of
Israel
cry
unto
Jehovah
.
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?
And
they say
unto
Moses, `
Because there are
no graves in Egypt ,
hast
thou
taken
us away
to die in
a
wilderness
? what is
this
thou
hast
done to us --
to
bring
us out from
Egypt?
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 .”
Is
not this
the
word
which
we
spake
unto
thee
in Egypt, saying,
Cease
from
us ,
and
we serve the Egyptians ;
for better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a
wilderness ?'
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.
And
Moses saith
unto
the people, `Fear
not ,
station
yourselves,
and see the salvation of
Jehovah
, which He doth
for you to-day
; for ,
as
ye
have
seen
the Egyptians to-day
, ye
add
no
more
to
see them
--
to
the
age;
The
LORD
will
fight for you ;
you
need
only
to
be
still
. ”
Jehovah
doth
fight for you ,
and
ye
keep
silent
. '
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses, “Why
are
you
crying
out
to
Me
? Tell
the Israelites
to
go
forward.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Moses, `What
? thou
criest
unto
Me
--
speak
unto
the sons
of
Israel,
and
they
journey;
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 thou
, lift up thy
rod,
and stretch out thy
hand towards
the sea ,
and cleave
it, and
the sons
of
Israel
go into
the midst
of
the
sea on dry land
.
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 I --
lo,
I
am
strengthening
the heart
of the Egyptians ,
and
they go in after them ,
and
I am
honoured
on
Pharaoh ,
and on
all his force,
on
his
chariots ,
and on
his
horsemen ;
The Egyptians will
know
that I am
the
LORD
when
I
am honored
through
Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen. ”
and
the Egyptians have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah,
in
My
being
honoured
on
Pharaoh, on
his chariots, and on
his horsemen. '
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 the messenger
of God, who is
going
before the camp of Israel, journeyeth
and goeth
at
their
rear;
and
the pillar of the
cloud journeyeth
from their
front,
and standeth
at
their
rear
,
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
cometh
in
between the camp
of the
Egyptians
and the
camp
of
Israel ,
and
the cloud and
the darkness are
, and
he
enlighteneth
the night ,
and
the
one
hath
not
drawn
near unto
the other all
the
night
.
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
Moses stretcheth
out his hand towards
the sea, and Jehovah
causeth
the sea to
go
on
by
a strong east wind all
the
night,
and
maketh
the
sea
become
dry ground,
and
the waters are
cleaved
,
and the Israelites
went
through
the sea on dry ground
, with
walls
of
water
on their right and on their left.
and the sons
of
Israel
go
into
the midst
of
the
sea ,
on dry land
, and
the
waters
`are'
to
them
a
wall,
on their right and on their left.
And the Egyptians chased
after them —
all Pharaoh’s
horses, chariots, and horsemen —and
followed
them
into
the sea .
And the Egyptians pursue,
and
go
in
after them (
all the
horses of
Pharaoh
, his
chariots, and his
horsemen )
unto
the midst
of
the
sea ,
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
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
the
morning watch, that
Jehovah
looketh
unto
the camp
of the Egyptians through
the pillar of fire and of
the
cloud, and troubleth
the
camp of
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
turneth
aside
the
wheels of
their
chariots
, and
they lead
them
with
difficulty ,
and
the
Egyptians
say,
`
Let us flee from the face
of
Israel
, for Jehovah
is fighting for them against the
Egyptians.'
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
Jehovah
saith
unto
Moses, `
Stretch out thy
hand toward
the sea, and
the waters turn
back on
the Egyptians ,
on
their chariots ,
and on
their
horsemen. '
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
Moses stretcheth
out his hand towards
the sea, and the sea turneth
back,
at
the
turning
of
the
morning,
to its perennial
flow,
and
the Egyptians are
fleeing
at
its
coming
, and
Jehovah
shaketh
off
the Egyptians
in
the midst
of
the
sea ,
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
.
and
the waters turn
back ,
and cover
the chariots and the
horsemen ,
even
all
the force
of Pharaoh ,
who
are
coming
in
after
them
into the sea --
there
hath
not been
left
of them even
one
.
But
the
Israelites
had
walked
through
the sea
on dry ground,
with
walls
of water
on their right and on their left .
And
the sons
of
Israel
have
gone
on dry land
in
the
midst
of the
sea,
and
the
waters
`are'
to
them
a
wall,
on their right and on their left ;
That day the
LORD
saved
Israel
from
the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw
the Egyptians dead on the shore .
and
Jehovah
saveth
Israel
in
that day out
of
the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel seeth
the Egyptians dead on the sea-
shore ,
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
.
and
Israel seeth
the great hand
with
which
Jehovah
hath
wrought
against
the Egyptians, and
the people fear
Jehovah,
and remain
stedfast
in Jehovah,
and in Moses
His servant.
