* And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying , * Speak unto the children of Israel Yisra #el #, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth Pi ha-Chiyroth #, between Migdol and the sea , over against Baalzephon Ba #al : before it shall ye encamp by the sea . * For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel Yisra #el #, They are entangled in the land , the wilderness hath shut them in . * And I will harden Pharaohs heart , that he shall follow after them ; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh Par #oh #, and upon all his host ; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD . And they did so . * And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled : and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people , and they said , Why have we done this , that we have let Israel go from serving us ? * And he made ready 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 the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt , and he pursued after the children of Israel Yisra #el #: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand . * But the Egyptians pursued after them , all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh Par #oh #, and his horsemen , and his army , and overtook them encamping by the sea , beside Pihahiroth Pi ha-Chiyroth #, before Baalzephon Ba #al . * And 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 the LORD . * And 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 ? * Is 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 . * And Moses said unto the people , Fear ye not , stand still , and see the salvation of the LORD , 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 . * The LORD shall fight for you , and ye shall hold your peace . * And the LORD said unto Moses , Wherefore criest thou unto me ? speak unto the children of Israel Yisra #el #, that they go forward : * But 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 . * And I , behold , I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians , and they shall follow them : and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh Par #oh #, and upon all his host , upon his chariots , and upon his horsemen . * And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD , when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh Par #oh #, upon his chariots , and upon his horsemen . * And the angel of God , which went before the camp of Israel Yisra #el #, removed and went behind them ; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face , and stood behind them : * And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel Yisra #el #; and it was a cloud and darkness to them , but it gave light by night to these : so that the one came not near the other all the night . * And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea ; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night , and made the sea dry land , and the waters were divided . * And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground : and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand , and on their left s @mo #wl #. * And the Egyptians pursued , and went in after them to the midst of the sea , even all Pharaohs horses , his chariots , and his horsemen . * And it came to pass , that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud , and troubled the host of the Egyptians , * And took off their chariot wheels , that they drave them heavily : so that the Egyptians said , Let us flee from the face of Israel Yisra #el #; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians . * And the LORD said unto Moses , Stretch out thine hand over the sea , that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians , upon their chariots , and upon their horsemen . * And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea , and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared ; and the Egyptians fled against it ; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea . * And the waters returned , and covered the chariots , and the horsemen , and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them ; there remained not so much as one of them . * But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea ; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand , and on their left s @mo #wl #. * Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians ; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore . * And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians : and the people feared the LORD , and believed the LORD , and his servant Moses .
