Exodus 14:1-12
1Now the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2“TellH1696 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 to turnH7725 backH7725 and campH2583 beforeH6440 1Pi-hahirothH6367, betweenH996 2MigdolH4024 and the seaH3220; you shall campH2583 in frontH6440 of Baal-zephonH1189, oppositeH5227 it, by the seaH3220. 3For PharaohH6547 will sayH559 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, ‘They are wanderingH943 aimlesslyH943 in the landH776; the wildernessH4057 has shutH5462 them in.’ 4Thus 3I will 4hardenH2388 Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820, and 5he will chaseH7291 afterH310 them; and I will be honoredH3513 through PharaohH6547 and allH3605 his armyH2428, and 6the EgyptiansH4714 will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.” And they didH6213 soH3651.
5When the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 was toldH5046 that the peopleH5971 had fledH1272, 7PharaohH6547 and his servantsH5650 hadH2015 a changeH2015 of heartH3824 towardH413 the peopleH5971, and they saidH559, “WhatH4100 is thisH2088 we have doneH6213, that we have letH7971 IsraelH3478 goH7971 from servingH5647 us?” 6So he madeH631 his chariotH7393 readyH631 and tookH3947 his peopleH5971 with him; 7and he tookH3947 sixH8337 hundredH3967 selectH977 chariotsH7393, and allH3605 the other chariotsH7393 of EgyptH4714 with officersH7991 overH5921 allH3605 of them. 88The LordH3068 9hardenedH2388 the heartH3820 of PharaohH6547, kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and he chasedH7291 afterH310 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 as the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 were goingH3318 out 1011boldlyH7311H3027. 9Then 12the EgyptiansH4714 chasedH7291 afterH310 them with allH3605 the horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 of PharaohH6547, his horsemenH6571 and his armyH2428, and they overtookH5381 them campingH2583 by the seaH3220, 13besideH5921 Pi-hahirothH6367, in frontH6440 of Baal-zephonH1189.
10As PharaohH6547 drewH7126 nearH7126, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 14lookedH5375H5869, and beholdH2009, the EgyptiansH4714 were marchingH5265 afterH310 them, and they becameH3372 veryH3966 frightenedH3372; 15so the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH6817 out to the LordH3068. 11Then 16they saidH559 to MosesH4872, “Is it becauseH4480H1097 thereH369 were noH369 gravesH6913 in EgyptH4714 that you have takenH3947 us away to dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057? WhyH4100 have you dealtH6213 with us in thisH2088 wayH2088, 17bringingH3318 us out of EgyptH4714? 1218Is thisH2088 not the wordH1697 that we spokeH1696 to you in EgyptH4714, sayingH559, ‘19LeaveH2308 us aloneH4480 that we may serveH5647 the EgyptiansH4714’? For it would have been betterH2896 for us to serveH5647 the EgyptiansH4714 thanH4480 to dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057.”
