Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 :
