Pharaoh in Pursuit

1

Now the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 to Mosesh4872, sayingh559,

2

"Tellh1696 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 to turnh7725 backh7725 and camph2583 beforeh6440  aPi-hahirothh6367, betweenh996  bMigdolh4024 and the seah3220; you shall camph2583 in fronth6440 of Baal-zephonh1189, oppositeh5227 it, by the seah3220.

3

"For Pharaohh6547 will sayh559 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, `They are wanderingh943 aimlesslyh943 in the landh776; the wildernessh4057b has shuth5462 them in.'

4

"Thus  aI will  1hardenh2388 Pharaoh'sh6547 hearth3820, and  bhe will chaseh7291 afterh310 them; and I will be honoredh3513 through Pharaohh6547 and allh3605 his armyh2428, and  cthe Egyptiansh4714 will knowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068." And they didh6213a soh3651.

5

When the kingh4428 of Egypth4714 was toldh5046 that the peopleh5971a had fledh1272,  1Pharaohh6547 and his servantsh5650 hadh2015 a changeh2015 of hearth3824 towardh413 the peopleh5971a, and they saidh559, "Whath4100 is thish2088 we have doneh6213a, that we have leth7971 Israelh3478 goh7971 from servingh5647 us?"

6

So he madeh631 his charioth7393 readyh631 and tookh3947 his peopleh5971a with him;

7

and he tookh3947 sixh8337a hundredh3967 selecth977 chariotsh7393, and allh3605 the other chariotsh7393 of Egypth4714 with officersh7991c overh5921 allh3605 of them.

8

 aThe LORDh3068  1hardenedh2388 the hearth3820 of Pharaohh6547, kingh4428 of Egypth4714, and he chasedh7291 afterh310 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 as the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 were goingh3318 out  2 bboldlyh7311h3027.

9

Then  athe Egyptiansh4714 chasedh7291 afterh310 them with allh3605 the horsesh5483b and chariotsh7393 of Pharaohh6547, his horsemenh6571b and his armyh2428, and they overtookh5381 them campingh2583 by the seah3220,  bbesideh5921 Pi-hahirothh6367, in fronth6440 of Baal-zephonh1189.

10

As Pharaohh6547 drewh7126 nearh7126, the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478  1lookedh5375h5869, and beholdh2009, the Egyptiansh4714 were marchingh5265 afterh310 them, and they becameh3372a veryh3966 frightenedh3372a;  aso the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 criedh6817 out to the LORDh3068.

11

Then  athey saidh559 to Mosesh4872, "Is it becauseh4480h1097 thereh369 were noh369 gravesh6913 in Egypth4714 that you have takenh3947 us away to dieh4191 in the wildernessh4057b? Whyh4100 have you dealth6213a with us in thish2088 wayh2088,  1bringingh3318 us out of Egypth4714?

12

aIs thish2088 not the wordh1697 that we spokeh1696 to you in Egypth4714, sayingh559, ` 1Leaveh2308 us aloneh4480 that we may serveh5647 the Egyptiansh4714'? For it would have been betterh2896a for us to serveh5647 the Egyptiansh4714 thanh4480 to dieh4191 in the wildernessh4057b."

The Sea Is Divided

13

But Mosesh4872 saidh559 to the peopleh5971a, " aDo not fearh3372a!  1Standh3320 by and seeh7200  bthe salvationh3444 of the LORDh3068 whichh834 He will accomplishh6213a for you todayh3117; for the Egyptiansh4714 whomh834 you have seenh7200 todayh3117, you will neverh3808h5750 seeh7200 them againh3254 foreverh5704h5769.

14

aThe LORDh3068 will fighth3898a for you while  byou keeph2790b silenth2790b."

15

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Mosesh4872, "Whyh4100 are you cryingh6817 out to Me? Tellh1696 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 to goh5265 forwardh5265.

16

"As for you, lifth7311 up  ayour staffh4294 and stretchh5186 out your handh3027 overh5921 the seah3220 and divideh1234 it, and the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 shall  1goh935 throughh935 the midsth8432 of the seah3220 on dryh3004 landh3004.

17

"As for Me, beholdh2009,  aI will  1hardenh2388 the heartsh3820 of the Egyptiansh4714 so that they will goh935 in afterh310 them; and I will be honoredh3513 through Pharaohh6547 and allh3605 his armyh2428, through his chariotsh7393 and his horsemenh6571b.

18

aThen the Egyptiansh4714 will knowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068, when I am honoredh3513 through Pharaohh6547, through his chariotsh7393 and his horsemenh6571b."

19

 aThe angelh4397 of Godh430, who had been goingh1980 beforeh6440 the camph4264 of Israelh3478, movedh5265 and wenth1980 behindh4480h310 them; and the pillarh5982 of cloudh6051 movedh5265 from beforeh4480h6440 them and stoodh5975 behindh4480h310 them.

20

So it cameh935 betweenh996 the camph4264 of Egypth4714 and the camph4264 of Israelh3478; and there was the cloudh6051  1along with the darknessh2822, yet it gaveh215 lighth215 at nighth3915. Thus the oneh2088 did not comeh7126 nearh7126 the otherh2088 allh3605 nighth3915.

21

 aThen Mosesh4872 stretchedh5186 out his handh3027 overh5921 the seah3220; and the LORDh3068  1swepth1980 the seah3220 back by a strongh5794 easth6921 windh7307 allh3605 nighth3915 and turnedh7760 the seah3220 into  bdryh2724 landh2724, so  cthe watersh4325 were dividedh1234.

22

 aThe sonsh1121 of Israelh3478  1wenth935 throughh935 the midsth8432 of the seah3220 on the dryh3004 landh3004, and  bthe watersh4325 were like a wallh2346 to them on their righth3225 handh3225 and on their lefth8040.

23

Then  athe Egyptiansh4714 tookh7291 up the pursuith7291, and allh3605 Pharaoh'sh6547 horsesh5483b, his chariotsh7393 and his horsemenh6571b wenth935 in afterh310 them into the midsth8432 of the seah3220.

24

At the morningh1242 watchh821,  athe LORDh3068 lookedh8259 downh8259 on the  1armyh4264 of the Egyptiansh4714  2through the pillarh5982 of fireh784 and cloudh6051 and broughth2000 the  1armyh4264 of the Egyptiansh4714 into confusionh2000.

25

He  1caused their charioth4818 wheelsh212 to swerveh5493, and He made them driveh5090a with difficultyh3517; so the Egyptiansh4714 saidh559, "Let  2us fleeh5127 from Israelh3478,  afor the LORDh3068 is fightingh3898a for them against the Egyptiansh4714."

26

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Mosesh4872, " aStretchh5186 out your handh3027 overh5921 the seah3220 so that the watersh4325 may comeh7725 backh7725 overh5921 the Egyptiansh4714, overh5921 their chariotsh7393 and their horsemenh6571b."

27

So Mosesh4872 stretchedh5186 out his handh3027 overh5921 the seah3220, and  athe seah3220 returnedh7725 to its normalh386 stateh386 at daybreakh1242, while the Egyptiansh4714 were fleeingh5127  1righth7122 into it; then the LORDh3068  2 boverthrewh5287 the Egyptiansh4714 in the midsth8432 of the seah3220.

28

The watersh4325 returnedh7725 and coveredh3680 the chariotsh7393 and the horsemenh6571b,  1even Pharaoh'sh6547 entireh3605 armyh2428 that had goneh935 into the seah3220 afterh310 them;  anot evenh5704 oneh259 of them remainedh7604.

29

But the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 walkedh1980 on  adryh3004 landh3004 through the midsth8432 of the seah3220, and the watersh4325 were like a wallh2346 to them on their righth3225 handh3225 and on their lefth8040.

30

 aThus the LORDh3068 savedh3467 Israelh3478 that dayh3117 from the handh3027 of the Egyptiansh4714, and Israelh3478  bsawh7200 the Egyptiansh4714 deadh4191 on the seashoreh3220h8193.

31

When Israelh3478 sawh7200 the greath1419  1powerh3027 whichh834 the LORDh3068 had  2usedh6213a against the Egyptiansh4714, the peopleh5971a  3fearedh3372a the LORDh3068, and  athey believedh539 in the LORDh3068 and in His servanth5650 Mosesh4872.
