02_EXO_14_01 And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying ,
02_EXO_14_02 speak unto the children of Israel , that they turn And encamp before Pihahiroth , between Migdol And the sea , over against Baalzephon : before it shall ye encamp by the sea .
02_EXO_14_03 for Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel , they [ are ] entangled in the land , the wilderness hath shut them in .
02_EXO_14_04 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart , that he shall follow after them ; And I will be honoured upon Pharaoh , And upon all his host ; that the Egyptians may know that I [ am ] the LORD . And they did So .
02_EXO_14_05 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 ?
02_EXO_14_06 And he made ready his chariot , And took his people with him :
02_EXO_14_07 And he took six hundred chosen chariots , And all the chariots of Egypt , And captains over every one of them .
02_EXO_14_08 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt , And he pursued after the children of Israel : And the children of Israel went out with an high hand .
02_EXO_14_09 but the Egyptians pursued after them , all the horses [ And ] chariots of Pharaoh , And his horsemen , And his army , And overtook them encamping by the sea , beside Pihahiroth , before Baalzephon .
02_EXO_14_10 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 .
02_EXO_14_11 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 ?
02_EXO_14_12 [ 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 .
02_EXO_14_13 And Moses said unto the people , Fear ye not , stand still , And see the salvation of the LORD , which he will show to you to day : for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day , ye shall see them again no more for ever .
02_EXO_14_14 the LORD shall fight for you , And ye shall hold your peace .
02_EXO_14_15 And the LORD said unto Moses , Wherefore criest thou unto me ? speak unto the children of Israel , that they go forward :
02_EXO_14_16 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 .
02_EXO_14_17 And I , behold , I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians , And they shall follow them : And I will get me honour upon Pharaoh , And upon all his host , upon his chariots , And upon his horsemen .
02_EXO_14_18 And the Egyptians shall know that I [ am ] the LORD , when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh , upon his chariots , And upon his horsemen .
02_EXO_14_19 And the angel of God , which went before the camp of Israel , removed And went behind them ; And the pillar of the cloud went from before their face , And stood behind them :
02_EXO_14_20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians And the camp of Israel ; 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 .
02_EXO_14_21 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 .
02_EXO_14_22 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 .
02_EXO_14_23 And the Egyptians pursued , And went in after them to the midst of the sea , [ even ] all Pharaoh's horses , his chariots , And his horsemen .
02_EXO_14_24 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 ,
02_EXO_14_25 And took off their chariot wheels , that they drave them heavily : So that the Egyptians said , let us flee from the face of Israel ; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians .
02_EXO_14_26 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 .
02_EXO_14_27 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 .
02_EXO_14_28 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 .
02_EXO_14_29 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 .
02_EXO_14_30 thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians ; And Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore .
02_EXO_14_31 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 .
