Yahweh
spoke
to Moses, saying,
Then
the
LORD
said
to Moses,
"Speak
to
the children
of
Israel,
that
they
turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth
, between Migdol and the sea ,
before
Baal
Zephon
. You shall
encamp opposite
it
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
.
Pharaoh will say of the children
of
Israel
, '
They are entangled
in
the land .
The wilderness has shut
them in. '
For
Pharaoh will say of the Israelites
, ‘
They are wandering
the land in
confusion;
the wilderness has boxed
them in. ’
I will harden Pharaoh's
heart ,
and
he will follow
after
them ;
and
I will get
honor over
Pharaoh ,
and over
all his host;
and the Egyptians shall
know that I am Yahweh
. "
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
.
It
was
told
the king of Egypt that the people had 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 .”
He
made
ready
his chariot ,
and took his army 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.
Yahweh
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
.
The Egyptians pursued
after
them:
all the
horses and chariots of
Pharaoh
, 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.
When
Pharaoh drew
near
, the children
of
Israel
lifted
up their
eyes,
and behold,
the Egyptians were
marching after them ;
and they were very
afraid.
The
children
of
Israel
cried out to Yahweh
.
As
Pharaoh approached
, the Israelites
looked
up and saw
the Egyptians marching after them ,
and they were terrified
and
cried out to the
LORD
.
They said to Moses, "
Because there were no graves in Egypt ,
have
you taken
us away
to
die
in
the wilderness? Why
have you treated
us
this
way,
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?
Isn't
this
the
word
that
we spoke
to you in Egypt, saying,
'
Leave 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. ”
Moses said
to
the people, "Don't
be afraid. Stand still,
and see the salvation of
Yahweh
, which he will work
for you today :
for the Egyptians whom
you have
seen
today, you shall
never see them
again.
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.
Yahweh
will fight for you ,
and
you shall
be still. "
The
LORD
will fight for you ;
you need
only
to
be still. ”
Yahweh
said to Moses, "
Why do
you cry
to me? Speak
to
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.
Lift up your rod,
and stretch out your 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.
I,
behold,
I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians ,
and
they shall
go in after them :
and
I will get
myself
honor over
Pharaoh ,
and over
all his host,
over
his
chariots ,
and over
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.
The Egyptians shall
know that I am Yahweh,
when I have
gotten
myself
honor
over
Pharaoh, over
his chariots, and over
his horsemen. "
The Egyptians will
know that I am the
LORD
when I am
honored
through
Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen. ”
The angel of God, who went
before the camp of Israel, moved
and went behind them ;
and
the pillar of cloud moved 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 ,
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
didn't
come
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.
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh
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 ,
The children
of
Israel
went into
the
midst
of
the sea on the
dry ground, and
the
waters
were
a
wall
to
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.
The Egyptians pursued,
and
went
in
after them into
the
midst
of
the
sea:
all of
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
.
It
happened
in
the
morning watch, that
Yahweh
looked out
on the host
of the Egyptians through
the pillar of fire and of
cloud, and confused
the
Egyptian
army
.
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
.
He took
off
their chariot wheels, and
they
drove
them
heavily;
so that the
Egyptians
said,
"Let's
flee from the face
of
Israel
, for Yahweh
fights
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
! ”
Yahweh
said to Moses, "
Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come
again
on
the Egyptians ,
on
their chariots ,
and on
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. ”
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength
when
the
morning
appeared;
and
the
Egyptians
fled
against
it
. Yahweh
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.
The waters returned,
and covered the chariots and the
horsemen ,
even
all
Pharaoh's
army 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 on
dry
land
in
the
midst
of
the sea, and
the
waters
were
a
wall
to
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
Yahweh
saved
Israel
that day out
of
the hand of the Egyptians ;
and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore
.
That day the LORD
saved
Israel
from
the
hand of the Egyptians ,
and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore
.
Israel saw the great work
which
Yahweh
did
to
the Egyptians, and
the people feared Yahweh;
and they
believed in Yahweh,
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.
