Revised Literal Translation
Exodus 14:10-18
10And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto Yhwh. 11And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? 12Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of Yhwh, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.1 14Yhwh shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15And Yhwh said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: 16But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. 17And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his army, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 18And the Egyptians shall know that I am Yhwh, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
