Exodus 14
14
CHAPTER 14
1Forsooth the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
2Speak thou to the sons of Israel; turn they again, and set they tents even against Pihahiroth, which is betwixt Migdol and the sea, against Baalzephon; and in the sight thereof ye shall set tents on the sea.
3And Pharaoh shall say on the sons of Israel, They be made strait in the land, the desert hath enclosed them altogether.
4And I shall make hard his heart, and he shall pursue you, and I shall be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord; and they did so.
5And it was told to the king of the Egyptians, that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed on the people, and they said, What would we do, that we let go Israel, that it should not serve us?
6Therefore Pharaoh joined the chariot, and took with him all his people;
7and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and whatever thing of chariots was in Egypt, and [the] dukes of all the host.
8And the Lord made hard the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he pursued the sons of Israel; and they were gone out in an high hand.
9And when the Egyptians pursued the steps of the sons of Israel before-going, they found them in tents on the sea; all the chivalry, and [the] chariots of Pharaoh, and all the host were in Pihahiroth, against Baalzephon.
10And when Pharaoh had nighed, the sons of Israel raised [up] their eyes, and they saw the Egyptians behind them, and they dreaded greatly; and they cried to the Lord,
11and said to Moses, In hap sepulchres were not in Egypt, therefore thou hast taken us away, that we shall die in wilderness? what wouldest thou do this, that thou leddest us out of Egypt?
12Whether this is not the word that we spake to thee in Egypt, saying, Go away from us, that we serve the Egyptians? for it is much better to serve them, than to die in wilderness.
13And Moses said to the people, Do not ye dread, stand ye, and see the great works of God, which he shall do today; for ye shall no more see the Egyptians, which ye see now, till into without end;
14the Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall be still.
15And the Lord said to Moses, What criest thou to me? Speak thou to the sons of Israel, that they go forth;
16forsooth raise thou thy rod, and stretch forth thine hand on the sea, and part thou it, that the sons of Israel go in the midst of the sea, by dry place.
17Forsooth I shall make hard the hearts of [the] Egyptians, that they pursue you, and I shall be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all the host of him, and in the chariots of him, and in the knights of him;
18and [the] Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord God, when I shall be glorified in Pharaoh, and in the chariots, and in the knights of him.
19And the angel of the Lord, that went before the castles or tents of Israel, took himself, and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went together with him, and left the former things after the back,
20and stood betwixt the castles [or the tents] of Egyptians and the castles [or the tents] of Israel; and the cloud was dark toward the Egyptians, and it was lightening the night toward Israel, so that in all the time of the night, they might not [come] nigh together to themselves.
21And when Moses had stretched forth his hand on the sea, the Lord took away the sea, the while a great wind and a burning blew in all the night, and turned the sea into dryness; and the water was parted.
22And the sons of Israel entered by the midst of the dry sea; for the water was as a wall at the right side, and the left side of them.
23And the Egyptians pursued, and entered after them, all the riding of Pharaoh, his chariots, and [his] knights, by the midst of the sea.
24And the watch of the morrowtide came then, and lo! the Lord beheld on the castles [or the tents] of the Egyptians, by a pillar of fire, and of cloud, and killed the host of them;
25and he destroyed the wheels of [the] chariots, and those [or they] were borne into the depth. Therefore the Egyptians said, Flee we Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against us.
26And the Lord said to Moses, Hold forth thine hand on the sea, that the waters turn again to [the] Egyptians, on the chariots, and on the knights of them.
27And when Moses had held forth his hand against the sea, it turned again first in the morrowtide to the former place; and when the Egyptians fled, the waters came against them, and the Lord wrapped them in the midst of the flood.
28And the waters turned again, and covered the chariots, and [the] knights of all the host of Pharaoh, which pursued [or were following], and entered into the sea; soothly not one of them was left alive.
29Forsooth the sons of Israel went through the midst of the dry sea, and the waters were to them as for a wall, on the right side, and on the left side.
30And in that day the Lord delivered Israel from the hand of [the] Egyptians, and they saw the Egyptians dead on the brink of the sea,
31and they saw the great hand, or power, or might, which the Lord had used against the Egyptians; and the people dreaded the Lord, and they believed to the Lord, and to Moses his servant.

Exodus 14
14
1Then the Lord said to Moses, 2“Tell the people of Israel to turn back and encamp in front of Pi-ha-hiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon; you shall encamp over against it, by the sea. 3For Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.’ 4And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.
5When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the mind of Pharaoh and his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?” 6So he made ready his chariot and took his army with him, 7and took six hundred picked chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them. 8#Acts 13.17. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt and he pursued the people of Israel as they went forth defiantly. 9The Egyptians pursued them, all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them encamped at the sea, by Pi-ha-hiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.
10When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were in great fear. And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord; 11and they said to Moses, “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us, in bringing us out of Egypt? 12#Ex 16.3; 17.3. Is not this what we said to you in Egypt, ‘Let us alone and let us serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.” 13And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. 14The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be still.” 15The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. 16Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go on dry ground through the sea. 17And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen. 18And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten glory over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19Then the angel of God who went before the host of Israel moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them, 20coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness; and the night passed#14.20 Gk: Heb and it lit up the night without one coming near the other all night.
21Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24And in the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down upon the host of the Egyptians, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians, 25clogging#14.25 Or binding. Sam Gk Syr: Heb removing their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel; for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”
26Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.” 27So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its wonted flow when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled into it, and the Lord routed#14.27 Heb shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen and all the host#14.28 Gk Syr: Heb to all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea; not so much as one of them remained. 29But the people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30Thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore. 31And Israel saw the great work which the Lord did against the Egyptians, and the people feared the Lord; and they believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.
