Exodus 14:19-25

19And the angelH43971 of GodH430, who had goneH1980 beforeH6440 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, withdrewH5265 and wentH1980 behind themH310. The pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 also movedH5265 from before themH6440 and stoodH5975 behind themH310, 20so that it cameH935 betweenH996 the campsH4264 of EgyptH4714 andH996H4264 IsraelH3478. The cloudH6051 wasH1961 there in the darknessH2822, but it lit upH215 the nightH3915.2 So allH3605 night longH3915 neitherH3808 camp went nearH7126 the otherH2088H413.

21Then MosesH4872 stretched outH5186 his handH3027 overH5921 the seaH3220, and allH3605 that nightH3915 the LORDH3068 drove backH1980 the seaH3220 with a strongH5794 eastH6921 windH7307 that turnedH7760 it into dry landH2724. So the watersH4325 were dividedH1234, 22and the IsraelitesH1121H3478 wentH935 throughH8432 the seaH3220 on dry groundH3004, with wallsH2346 of waterH4325 on their rightH3225 and on their leftH8040.

23And the EgyptiansH4713 chased after themH7291—allH3605 Pharaoh’sH6547 horsesH5483, chariotsH7393, and horsemenH6571—and followedH935 themH310 intoH413H8432 the seaH3220. 24At morningH1242 watchH821, howeverH1961, the LORDH3068 looked downH8259 onH413 the armyH4264 of the EgyptiansH4713 from the pillarH5982 of fireH784 and cloudH6051, and He threw their camp into confusionH2000. 25He caused their chariotH4818 wheelsH212 to wobbleH5493,3 so that they had difficultyH3517 drivingH5090. “Let us fleeH5127 fromH6440 the IsraelitesH3478,” saidH559 the EgyptiansH4714, “forH3588 the LORDH3068 is fightingH3898 for them against EgyptH4714!”
