Exodus 14:9-23
9The EgyptiansH4713—allH3605 Pharaoh’sH6547 horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393, horsemenH6571 and troopsH2428—pursuedH7291 the Israelites andH310 overtookH5381 themH853 as they campedH2583 byH5921 the seaH3220 nearH5921 Pi-hahirothH6367, oppositeH6440 Baal-zephonH1189.
10As PharaohH6547 approachedH7126, the IsraelitesH1121H3478 looked upH5375H5869 and sawH2009 the EgyptiansH4713 marchingH5265 after themH310, andH1121H3478 they were terrifiedH3372H3966 and cried outH6817 toH413 the LORDH3068. 11They saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “Was it becauseH369 there were noH1097 gravesH6913 in EgyptH4714 that you brought usH3947 into the wildernessH4057 to dieH4191? WhatH4100H2063 have you doneH6213 to us by bringing us outH3318 of EgyptH4714? 12Did we notH3808 sayH1696 to youH413 in EgyptH4714H559, ‘Leave us aloneH2308H4480 so that we may serveH5647 the EgyptiansH4713’? ForH3588 it would have been betterH2896 for us to serveH5647 the EgyptiansH4713 than to dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057.”
13But MosesH4872 toldH559H413 the peopleH5971, “Do notH408 be afraidH3372. Stand firmH3320 and you will seeH7200 the LORD’sH3068 salvationH3444, which He will accomplishH6213 for you todayH3117; forH3588 the EgyptiansH834 you see todayH7200, you will neverH3808H5704H5769 seeH7200 againH3254H5750. 14The LORDH3068 will fightH3898 for you; youH859 need only to be stillH2790.”
15Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “WhyH4100 are you crying outH6817 to MeH413? TellH1696H413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 to go forwardH5265. 16And as for youH859, lift upH7311 your staffH4294 and stretch outH5186 your handH3027 overH5921 the seaH3220 and divide itH1234, so that the IsraelitesH1121H3478 can goH935 throughH8432 the seaH3220 on dry groundH3004. 17And IH589H2005 will hardenH2388 the heartsH3820 of the EgyptiansH4713 so that they will go inH935 after themH310. Then I will gain honorH3513 by means of PharaohH6547 and allH3605 his armyH2428 and chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571. 18The EgyptiansH4713 will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068 when I am honoredH3513 through PharaohH6547, his chariotsH7393, and his horsemenH6571.”
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.
