CHAPTER 14 Israel Camps at the Sea

1 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the sons of Israel! And turning let them encamp before the property between Migdol and between the sea, right opposite Baal-Zephon! Before them you shall encamp by the sea. 3 And Pharaoh will say concerning the sons of Israel, These wander in the land, [⁴has closed ⁶up ¹for ⁵them ²the ³wilderness]. 4 But I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he will pursue after them, and I will be glorified by Pharaoh, and by all his military; and [⁴shall know ¹all ²the ³Egyptians] that I am the lord. And they did thus. 5 And it was announced to the king of the Egyptians that [³have fled ¹the ²people]. And [⁴was converted ¹the ²heart ³of Pharaoh], and the hearts of his attendants against the people. And they said, What is this we have done to send out the sons of Israel to not slave to us? 6 [³teamed up ²then ¹Pharaoh] his chariots, and [²all ³his people ¹he led] with himself. 7 And he took six hundred [²chariots ¹chosen], and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and tribunes over all. 8 And the lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he pursued after the sons of Israel. But the sons of Israel went with [²hand ¹a high]. 9 And [³pursued ¹the ²Egyptians] after them. And they found them camping by the sea. And all the cavalry, and the chariots of Pharaoh, and the horsemen, and his military were before the property right opposite Baal-zephon. 10 And Pharaoh led forward. And [⁴looking up ¹the ²sons ³of Israel] with the eyes, they beheld. And behold, the Egyptians were encamped behind them. And they feared exceedingly. [⁵yelled out ¹And ²the ³sons ⁴of Israel] to the lord. 11 And they said to Moses, Because there were no [²existing ¹tombs] in Egypt you led us to be put to death in the wilderness? What is this you did to us bringing us forth from out of Egypt? 12 [²this not ¹Was] the saying which we spoke in Egypt to you? saying, Disregard us! so that we may slave to the Egyptians. For it is better for us to slave to the Egyptians, than to die in this wilderness. 13 [³said ¹And ²Moses] to the people, Be of courage! Stand, and see the deliverance by the lord, which he will do for us today! [²in which ³manner ¹For] you see the Egyptians today, you will not proceed still to see them into the eon of time. 14 The lord will wage war for us, and you shall be quiet. 15 [³said ¹And ²the lord] to Moses, Why do you yell to me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and break camp!

God Draws Away the Sea

16 And you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand upon the sea, and tear it! And let [⁴enter ¹the ²sons ³of Israel] in the midst of the sea on dry land! 17 And behold, I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and [²the ³Egyptians ¹all]; and they will enter in after them, and I will be glorified by Pharaoh, and by all his military, and by the chariots, and by his horses. 18 And [⁴shall know ¹all ²the ³Egyptians] that I am the lord glorifying myself by Pharaoh, and by the chariots, and by his horses. 19 [⁵lifted away ¹And ²the ³angel ⁴of God], the one going before the camp of the sons of Israel, and he went at the rear. And lifted away also the column of cloud from their sight, and it stood at the rear of them. 20 And it entered between the camp of the Egyptians and between the camp of Israel, and it stood. And there was darkness and dimness. And [³went by ¹the ²night]. And they did not mix together one to another the entire night. 21 [³stretched out ¹And ²Moses] his hand upon the sea. And the lord drew away the sea by [³wind ²south ¹a violent] the entire night. And he made the sea dry, and cut asunder the water. 22 And [⁴entered ¹the ²sons ³of Israel] in the midst of the sea down on the dry land. And its water was a wall from the right and a wall from the left. 23 [⁴pursued ¹And ²the ³Egyptians]. And [⁵entered ⁶after ⁷them ¹all ²the ³cavalry ⁴of Pharaoh], and the chariots, and the riders in the midst of the sea. 24 And it came to pass in the watch, in the early morning, and the lord gave attention unto the camp of the Egyptians with a column of fire and a cloud; and he disturbed the camp of the Egyptians. 25 And he bound the axles of their chariots, and led them with force. And [³said ¹the ²Egyptians], We should flee from the face of Israel, for the lord wages war for them against the Egyptians. 26 [³said ¹And ²the lord] to Moses, Stretch out your hand upon the sea, and restore the water, and cover over the Egyptians, over both the chariots and over the riders! 27 [³stretched out ¹And ²Moses] his hand upon the sea, and [³restored ¹the ²water] at day to its place. And the Egyptians fled from under the water. And the lord shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 And in turning back, the water covered the chariots, and the riders, and all the force of Pharaoh, of the ones entering after them into the sea. And there was not left of them not even one. 29 And the sons of Israel went through dry land in the midst of the sea. And the water was to them a wall on the right, and a wall on the left. 30 And the lord rescued Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians. And Israel saw the Egyptians having died by the edge of the sea. 31 [³saw ¹And ²Israel ⁶hand ⁴the ⁵great] by which the lord executed against the Egyptians. [⁴feared ¹And ²the ³people] the lord, and they trusted in God, and Moses his attendant.
