Exodus 14:1-14

Crossing the Red Sea

1 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the people of Israel to ^aturn back and encamp in front of Pi-hahiroth, between ^bMigdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon; you shall encamp facing it, by the sea. 3 For Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel, ‘They are wandering in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.’ 4 And ^cI will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them, and I will ^dget glory over Pharaoh and all his host, ^eand the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.

5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the ^fmind 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?” 6 So he made ready his chariot and took his army with him, 7 and took ^gsix hundred chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them. 8 And ^hthe Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the people of Israel while ⁱthe people of Israel were going out defiantly. 9 The ^jEgyptians pursued them, all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them ^kencamped at the sea, by Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.

10 When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel ^lcried out to the Lord. 11 They ^msaid 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 Is not this what ⁿwe said to you in Egypt: ‘Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.” 13 And Moses said to the people, ^o“Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For ^pthe Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. 14 ^qThe Lord will fight for you, and you have only ^rto be silent.”
