1
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
2Speak[H1696] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], that they turn[H7725] and encamp[H2583]before[H6440]Pihahiroth[H6367], between Migdol[H4024] and the sea[H3220], over against[H6440]Baalzephon[H1189]: before[H5226] it shall ye encamp[H2583] by the sea[H3220].
3
For Pharaoh[H6547] will say[H559] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], They are entangled[H943]in[H5462] the land[H776], the wilderness[H4057] hath shut them in[H5462].
4
And I will harden[H2388]Pharaoh[H6547]'s heart[H3820], that he shall follow[H7291]after[H310] them; and I will be honoured[H3513] upon Pharaoh[H6547], and upon all his host[H2428]; that the Egyptians[H4714] may know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068]. And they did[H6213] so.
5
And it was told[H5046] the king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714] that the people[H5971]fled[H1272]: and the heart[H3824] of Pharaoh[H6547] and of his servants[H5650] was turned[H2015] against the people[H5971], and they said[H559], Why have we done[H6213] this, that we have let Israel[H3478]go[H7971] from serving[H5647] us?
6
And he made ready[H631] his chariot[H7393], and took[H3947] his people[H5971] with him:
7
And he took[H3947]six[H8337]hundred[H3967]chosen[H977]chariots[H7393], and all the chariots[H7393] of Egypt[H4714], and captains[H7991] over every one of them.
8
And the LORD[H3068]hardened[H2388] the heart[H3820] of Pharaoh[H6547]king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714], and he pursued[H7291]after[H310] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]: and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] went out[H3318] with an high[H7311]hand[H3027].
9
But the Egyptians[H4714]pursued[H7291]after[H310] them, all the horses[H5483] and chariots[H7393] of Pharaoh[H6547], and his horsemen[H6571], and his army[H2428], and overtook[H5381] them encamping[H2583] by the sea[H3220], beside Pihahiroth[H6367], before[H6440]Baalzephon[H1189].
10
And when Pharaoh[H6547] drew nigh[H7126], the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] lifted up[H5375] their eyes[H5869], and, behold, the Egyptians[H4714]marched[H5265]after[H310] them; and they were sore[H3966]afraid[H3372]: and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] cried out[H6817] unto the LORD[H3068].
11
And they said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Because there were no graves[H6913] in Egypt[H4714], hast thou taken us away[H3947] to die[H4191] in the wilderness?[H4057]wherefore[H2063] hast thou dealt[H6213] thus with us, to carry us forth[H3318] out of Egypt?[H4714]
12
Is not this the word[H1697] that we did tell[H1696] thee in Egypt[H4714], saying[H559], Let us alone[H2308], that we may serve[H5647] the Egyptians?[H4714] For it had been better[H2896] for us to serve[H5647] the Egyptians[H4714], than that we should die[H4191] in the wilderness[H4057].
13
And Moses[H4872]said[H559] unto the people[H5971], Fear[H3372] ye not, stand still[H3320], and see[H7200] the salvation[H3444] of the LORD[H3068], which he will shew[H6213] to you to day[H3117]: for[H5704] the Egyptians[H4714] whom ye have seen[H7200] to day[H3117], ye shall see[H7200] them again[H3254] no more for[H5704]ever[H5769].
14
The LORD[H3068] shall fight[H3898] for you, and ye shall hold your peace[H2790].
15
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Wherefore criest[H6817] thou unto me? speak[H1696] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], that they go forward[H5265]:
16
But lift thou up[H7311] thy rod[H4294], and stretch out[H5186] thine hand[H3027] over the sea[H3220], and divide[H1234] it: and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] shall go[H935] on dry[H3004] ground through the midst[H8432] of the sea[H3220].
17
And I, behold, I will harden[H2388] the hearts[H3820] of the Egyptians[H4714], and they shall follow[H935]them[H310]: and I will get me honour[H3513] upon Pharaoh[H6547], and upon all his host[H2428], upon his chariots[H7393], and upon his horsemen[H6571].
18
And the Egyptians[H4714] shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068], when I have gotten me honour[H3513] upon Pharaoh[H6547], upon his chariots[H7393], and upon his horsemen[H6571].
19
And the angel[H4397] of God[H430], which went[H1980]before[H6440] the camp[H4264] of Israel[H3478], removed[H5265] and went[H3212]behind[H310] them; and the pillar[H5982] of the cloud[H6051]went[H5265] from before[H6440] their face[H6440], and stood[H5975]behind[H310] them:
20
And it came[H935] between the camp[H4264] of the Egyptians[H4714] and the camp[H4264] of Israel[H3478]; and it was a cloud[H6051] and darkness[H2822] to them, but it gave light[H215] by night[H3915] to these: so that the one came[H935] not near[H7126] the other[H2088] all the night[H3915].
21
And Moses[H4872] stretched out[H5186] his hand[H3027] over the sea[H3220]; and the LORD[H3068] caused the sea[H3220] to go[H3212] back by a strong[H5794]east[H6921]wind[H7307] all that night[H3915], and made[H7760] the sea[H3220]dry[H2724] land, and the waters[H4325] were divided[H1234].
22
And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]went[H935] into the midst[H8432] of the sea[H3220] upon the dry[H3004] ground: and the waters[H4325] were a wall[H2346] unto them on their right hand[H3225], and on their left[H8040].
23
And the Egyptians[H4714]pursued[H7291], and went in[H935]after[H310] them to the midst[H8432] of the sea[H3220], even all Pharaoh's horses[H5483], his chariots[H7393], and his horsemen[H6571].
24
And it came to pass, that in the morning[H1242]watch[H821] the LORD[H3068]looked[H8259] unto the host[H4264] of the Egyptians[H4714] through the pillar[H5982] of fire[H784] and of the cloud[H6051], and troubled[H2000] the host[H4264] of the Egyptians[H4714],
25
And took off[H5493] their chariot[H4818]wheels[H212], that they drave[H5090] them heavily[H3517]: so that the Egyptians[H4714]said[H559], Let us flee[H5127] from the face[H6440] of Israel[H3478]; for the LORD[H3068]fighteth[H3898] for them against the Egyptians[H4714].
26
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Stretch out[H5186] thine hand[H3027] over the sea[H3220], that the waters[H4325] may come again[H7725] upon the Egyptians[H4714], upon their chariots[H7393], and upon their horsemen[H6571].
27
And Moses[H4872] stretched forth[H5186] his hand[H3027] over the sea[H3220], and the sea[H3220]returned[H7725] to his strength[H386] when the morning[H1242]appeared[H6437]; and the Egyptians[H4714]fled[H5127]against[H7125] it; and the LORD[H3068]overthrew[H5287] the Egyptians[H4714] in the midst[H8432] of the sea[H3220].
28
And the waters[H4325]returned[H7725], and covered[H3680] the chariots[H7393], and the horsemen[H6571], and all the host[H2428] of Pharaoh[H6547] that came[H935] into the sea[H3220]after[H310] them; there remained[H7604] not so much as[H5704]one[H259] of them.
29
But the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]walked[H1980] upon dry[H3004] land in the midst[H8432] of the sea[H3220]; and the waters[H4325] were a wall[H2346] unto them on their right hand[H3225], and on their left[H8040].
30
Thus the LORD[H3068]saved[H3467]Israel[H3478] that day[H3117] out of the hand[H3027] of the Egyptians[H4714]; and Israel[H3478]saw[H7200] the Egyptians[H4714]dead[H4191] upon the sea[H3220]shore[H8193].
31
And Israel[H3478]saw[H7200] that great[H1419]work[H3027] which the LORD[H3068]did[H6213] upon the Egyptians[H4714]: and the people[H5971]feared[H3372] the LORD[H3068], and believed[H539] the LORD[H3068], and his servant[H5650]Moses[H4872].
