Exodus 14:2-9

2“Tell the sons of Israel to turn back and camp before 1Pi-hahiroth, between 2Migdol and the sea; you shall camp in front of Baal-zephon, opposite it, by the sea. 3For Pharaoh will say of the sons of Israel, ‘They are wandering aimlessly in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.’ 4Thus 3I will 4harden Pharaoh’s heart, and 5he will chase after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, and 6the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.

5When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, 7Pharaoh and his servants had a change of heart toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?” 6So he made his chariot ready and took his people with him; 7and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them. 88The Lord 9hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he chased after the sons of Israel as the sons of Israel were going out 1011boldly. 9Then 12the Egyptians chased after them with all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and they overtook them camping by the sea, 13beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.
