* And Jehovah spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak unto the children of Israel , that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth , between Migdol and the sea : before Baal-Zephon , opposite to it , shall ye encamp by the sea . * And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel , They are entangled in the land , the wilderness has hemmed them in . * And I will harden Pharaoh 's heart , that he may pursue after them ; and I will glorify myself in Pharaoh , and in all his host ; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah . And they did so . * And it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled ; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his bondmen was turned against the people , and they said , Why have we done this , that we have let Israel go from our service ? * And he yoked his chariot , and took his people with him . * And he took six hundred chosen chariots , and all the chariots of Egypt , and captains over every one of them . * And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt , and he pursued after the children of Israel ; and the children of Israel had gone out with a high hand . * And the Egyptians pursued after them , -- all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh , and his horsemen , and his army , and overtook them where they had encamped by the sea , beside Pi-hahiroth , opposite to Baal-Zephon . * And Pharaoh approached ; and the children of Israel lifted up their eyes , and behold , the Egyptians marched after them ; and the children of Israel were much afraid , and cried out to Jehovah . * And they said to Moses , Is it because there were no graves in Egypt , thou hast taken us away to die in the wilderness ? why hast thou done this to us , that thou hast led us out of Egypt ? * Is not this what we told thee in Egypt , when we said , Let us alone , and we will serve the Egyptians ? For [it had been ] better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness . * And Moses said to the people , Fear not : stand still , and see the salvation of Jehovah , which he will work for you to-day ; for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day , ye shall see them again no more for ever . * Jehovah will fight for you , and ye shall be still . * And Jehovah said to Moses , Why dost thou cry unto me ? Speak unto the children of Israel , that they go forward . * And thou , lift thy staff , and stretch out thy hand over the sea , and divide it ; and the children of Israel shall go on dry [ground ] through the midst of the sea . * And I , behold , I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians , and they shall pursue after them ; and I will glorify myself in Pharaoh and in all his host , in his chariots and in his horsemen . * And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah , when I have glorified myself in Pharaoh , in his chariots and in his horsemen . * And the Angel of God , who went before the camp of Israel , removed and went behind them ; and the pillar of the cloud went from before them , and stood behind them . * And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel ; and was a cloud and darkness , and lit up the night ; and the one did not come near the other all the night . * And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea ; and Jehovah made the sea go [back ] by a strong east wind all the night , and made the sea dry [land ], and the waters were divided . * And the children of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry [ground ]; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left . * And the Egyptians pursued and came after them -- all Pharaoh 's horses , his chariots and his horsemen , into the midst of the sea . * And it came to pass in the morning watch , that Jehovah looked upon the camp of the Egyptians , in the pillar of fire and of the cloud , and embarrassed the camp of the Egyptians . * And he took off their chariot wheels , and caused them to drive with difficulty ; and the Egyptians said , Let us flee before Israel , for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians ! * And Jehovah said to Moses , Stretch out thy hand over the sea , that the waters may return upon the Egyptians , upon their chariots and upon their horsemen . * And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea , and the sea returned to its strength toward the morning ; and the Egyptians fled against it ; and Jehovah overturned the Egyptians into the midst of the sea . * And the waters returned , and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the host of Pharaoh that had come into the sea after them ; there remained not even one of them . * And the children of Israel walked on dry [ground ] through the midst of the sea ; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left . * Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians ; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore . * And Israel saw the great power [with ] which Jehovah had wrought against the Egyptians ; and the people feared Jehovah , and believed in Jehovah , and in Moses his bondman .
