Exodus 14:1-12
1And YhwhH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they turnH7725 and encampH2583 beforeH6440 Pi–hahirothH6367, between MigdolH4024 and the seaH3220, over againstH6440 Baal–zephonH1189: beforeH5226 it shall ye encampH2583 by the seaH3220. 3For PharaohH6547 will sayH559 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, They are entangledH943 in the landH776, the wildernessH4057 hath shut them inH5462. 4And I will hardenH2388 Pharaoh’sH6547 heartH3820, that he shall followH7291 afterH310 them; and I will be honouredH3513 upon PharaohH6547, and upon all his armyH2428; that the EgyptiansH4714 may knowH3045 that I am YhwhH3068. And they didH6213 so.
5And it was toldH5046 the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 that the peopleH5971 fledH1272: and the heartH3824 of PharaohH6547 and of his servantsH5650 was turnedH2015 against the peopleH5971, and they saidH559, Why have we doneH6213 this, that we have let IsraelH3478 goH7971 from servingH5647 us? 6And he made readyH631 his chariotH7393, and tookH3947 his peopleH5971 with him: 7And he tookH3947 sixH8337 hundredH3967 chosenH977 chariotsH7393, and all the chariotsH7393 of EgyptH4714, and captainsH7991 over every one of them. 8And YhwhH3068 hardenedH2388 the heartH3820 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and he pursuedH7291 afterH310 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318 with an highH7311 handH3027. 9But the EgyptiansH4714 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them, all the horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 of PharaohH6547, and his horsemenH6571, and his armyH2428, and overtookH5381 them encampingH2583 by the seaH3220, beside Pi–hahirothH6367, beforeH6440 Baal–zephonH1189.
10And when PharaohH6547 drew nighH7126, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 lifted upH5375 their eyesH5869, and, behold, the EgyptiansH4714 marchedH5265 afterH310 them; and they were soreH3966 afraidH3372: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cried outH6817 unto YhwhH3068. 11And they saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Because there were no gravesH6913 in EgyptH4714, hast thou taken us awayH3947 to dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057? whereforeH2063 hast thou dealtH6213 thus with us, to carry us forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714? 12Is not this the wordH1697 that we did tellH1696 thee in EgyptH4714, sayingH559, Let us aloneH2308, that we may serveH5647 the EgyptiansH4714? For it had been betterH2896 for us to serveH5647 the EgyptiansH4714, than that we should dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057.
