* And Jehovah spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak to the sons of Israel , and let them return and camp before Pihahiroth , between Migdol and the sea , before Baal-zephon . You shall camp opposite it , by the sea . * And Pharaoh will say as to the sons of Israel , They are entangled in the land , the wilderness has shut them in , * And I will harden Pharaoh 's heart , and he will pursue you . And I will be honored through Pharaoh , and through all his armies . And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah . And they did so . * And it was told to the king of Egypt that the people had fled ; and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned as to the people . And they said , What is this we have done ? For we have sent away Israel from serving us . * And he prepared his chariots . And he took his people with him . * And he took six hundred chosen chariots , and all the chariots of Egypt , and officers over all of them . * And Jehovah hardened Pharaoh king of Egypt 's heart . And he pursued the sons of Israel . And the sons of Israel were going out with a high hand . * And the Egyptians pursued them . And they overtook them camping by the sea , all the horses and the chariots of Pharaoh , and his horsemen , and his army , by Pihahiroth , before Baalzephon . * And Pharaoh came near , and the sons of Israel raised their eyes , and , behold ! The Egyptians were marching after them ! And they were greatly afraid . And the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah . * And they said to Moses , Were there no graves in Egypt , that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness ? What is this you have done to us , to bring us out from Egypt ? * Is this not the word which we spoke to you in Egypt , saying , Go away from us , and let us serve the Egyptians . For it is better for us to serve the Egyptians , than to die in the wilderness . * And Moses said to the people , Do not be afraid . Take your stand and see the salvation of Jehovah , which He will prepare for you today . For as you see the Egyptians today , you shall not continue to see them again forever . * Jehovah will fight for you , and you be silent . * And Jehovah said to Moses , Why do you cry to Me ? Speak to the sons of Israel , and let them pull up . * And you raise your staff , and stretch out your hand over the sea , and divide it so that the sons of Israel may go in the midst of the sea on dry ground . * And behold ! I am about to harden the heart of the Egyptians . And they will go after them . And I will be honored through Pharaoh and through his armies , through his chariots , and through his horsemen . * And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah , in my being honored through Pharaoh , through his chariots , and through his horsemen . * And the Angel of God withdrew , the One going before the camp of Israel . And He went behind them . And the pillar of cloud withdrew from before them , and it stood behind them . * And it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel . And it was cloudy and dark . And it gave light to the night ; and this one did not come near to that one all night . * And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea , and Jehovah caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night . And He made the sea dry land , and the waters divided . * And the sons of Israel came into the middle of the sea on dry ground , the waters being a wall to them from their right and from their left . * And the Egyptians pursued , and all the horses of Pharaoh came after them , his chariots and his horsemen , into the middle of the sea . * And it happened in the morning watch : Jehovah looked on the camp of the Egyptians in the pillar of fire and cloud . And He confused the camp of the Egyptians . * And He took off the wheels of their chariots , and made them drive with difficulty . And the Egyptians said , I will flee from the face of Israel , for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians . * And Jehovah said to Moses , Stretch out your hand over the sea , and let the waters return on the Egyptians , on their chariots , and on their horsemen . * And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea , and the sea returned to its usual flow , at the turning of the morning , and the Egyptians were fleeing to meet it . And Jehovah shook off the Egyptians into the middle of the sea . * And the waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen , together with all the army of Pharaoh , those going after them into the sea . And not even one was left among them . * And the sons of Israel walked on dry ground in the middle of the sea , the waters being a wall for them , from their right and from their left . * And Jehovah saved Israel in that day from the hand of Egypt . And Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the lip of the sea . * And Israel saw the great hand with which Jehovah worked against Egypt . And the people feared Jehovah , and they believed in Jehovah and in His servant Moses .
