Exodus 14:9-23
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.
13And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 ye not, stand stillH3320, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of YhwhH3068, which he will shewH6213 to you to dayH3117: for the EgyptiansH4714 whom ye have seenH7200 to dayH3117, ye shall seeH7200 them againH3254 no more forH5704 everH5769.1 14YhwhH3068 shall fightH3898 for you, and ye shall hold your peaceH2790.
15And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Wherefore criestH6817 thou unto me? speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they go forwardH5265: 16But lift thou upH7311 thy rodH4294, and stretch outH5186 thine handH3027 over the seaH3220, and divideH1234 it: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall goH935 on dryH3004 ground through the midstH8432 of the seaH3220. 17And I, behold, I will hardenH2388 the heartsH3820 of the EgyptiansH4714, and they shall followH935 themH310: and I will get me honourH3513 upon PharaohH6547, and upon all his armyH2428, upon his chariotsH7393, and upon his horsemenH6571. 18And the EgyptiansH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am YhwhH3068, when I have gotten me honourH3513 upon PharaohH6547, upon his chariotsH7393, and upon his horsemenH6571.
19And the angelH4397 of GodH430, which wentH1980 beforeH6440 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, removedH5265 and wentH3212 behindH310 them; and the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 wentH5265 from before their faceH6440, and stoodH5975 behindH310 them: 20And it cameH935 between the campH4264 of the EgyptiansH4714 and the campH4264 of IsraelH3478; and it was a cloudH6051 and darknessH2822 to them, but it gave lightH215 by nightH3915 to these: so that the one came not nearH7126 the otherH2088 all the nightH3915. 21And MosesH4872 stretched outH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220; And YhwhH3068 caused the seaH3220 to goH3212 back by a strongH5794 eastH6921 windH7307 all that nightH3915, and madeH7760 the seaH3220 dryH2724 land, and the watersH4325 were dividedH1234. 22And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH935 into the midstH8432 of the seaH3220 upon the dryH3004 ground: and the watersH4325 were a wallH2346 unto them on their right handH3225, and on their leftH8040.
23And the EgyptiansH4714 pursuedH7291, and went inH935 afterH310 them to the midstH8432 of the seaH3220, even all Pharaoh’sH6547 horsesH5483, his chariotsH7393, and his horsemenH6571.
