14:1 And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
14:2 Speak to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before
the village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them
shalt thou encamp by the sea.
14:3 And Pharaoh will say to his people, As for these children of Israel,
they are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has shut them in.
14:4 And I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he shall pursue after them;
and I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his host, and all the
Egyptians shall know that I am Yehovah. And they did so.
14:5 And it was reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had
fled: and the heart of Pharaoh was turned, and that of his servants against
the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the
children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
14:6 So Pharaoh yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
14:7 having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of
the Egyptians, and rulers over all.
14:8 And Yehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and of his
servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of
Israel went forth with a high hand.
14:9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, and found them encamped by the
sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharaoh, and the horsemen, and
his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
14:10 And Pharaoh approached, and the children of Israel having looked up,
beheld, and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly
terrified, and the children of Israel cried to Yehovah;
14:11 and said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt,
hast thou brought us forth to slay [us] in the wilderness? What is this that
thou hast done to us, having brought us out of Egypt?
14:12 Is not this the word which we spoke to thee in Egypt, saying, Let us
alone that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the
Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.
14:13 And Moses said to the people, Be of good courage: stand and see the
salvation which is from Yehovah, which he will work for us this day; for as
ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14:14 Yehovah shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
14:15 and Yehovah said to Moses, Why criest thou to me? speak to the
children of Israel, and let them proceed.
14:16 And do thou lift up thy rod, and stretch forth thy hand over the sea,
and divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the
sea on the dry land.
14:17 And lo! I will harden the heart of Pharaoh and of all the Egyptians,
and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharaoh, and on
all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
14:18 And all the Egyptians shall know that I am Yehovah, when I am
glorified upon Pharaoh and upon his chariots and his horses.
14:19 And the Messenger of Elohim that went before the camp of the children of
Israel removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also removed
from before them and stood behind them.
14:20 And it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel,
and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and
they came not near to one another during the whole night.
14:21 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and Yehovah carried
back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry,
and the water was divided.
14:22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry
land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the
left.
14:23 And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse
of Pharaoh, and his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
14:24 And it came to pass in the morning watch that Yehovah looked forth on
the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled
the camp of the Egyptians,
14:25 and bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with
difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for
Yehovah fights for them against the Egyptians.
14:26 And Yehovah said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and
let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians
[coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
14:27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the water
returned to its place toward day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and
Yehovah shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
14:28 and the water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and
all the forces of Pharaoh, who entered after them into the sea: and there was
not left of them even one.
14:29 But the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the
sea, and the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the
left.
14:30 So Yehovah delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the
Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
14:31 And Israel saw the mighty hand, the [things] which Yehovah did to the
Egyptians; and the people feared Yehovah, and they believed Elohim and Moses
his servant. |
14:1 And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
14:2 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.
14:3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in
the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
14:4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and
I will be honored upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians
may know that I am Yehovah. And they did so.
14:5 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?
14:6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
14:7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt,
and captains over every one of them.
14:8 And Yehovah 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.
14:9 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.
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 Yehovah.
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?
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.
14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the
salvation of Yehovah, 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.
14:14 Yehovah shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
14:15 And Yehovah said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak
unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
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.
14:17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they
shall follow them: and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his
host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
14:18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am Yehovah, when I have gotten me
honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
14:19 And the Messenger of Elohim, 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:
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.
14:21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Yehovah 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.
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.
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.
14:24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch Yehovah looked unto
the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and
troubled the host of the Egyptians,
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 Yehovah
fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
14:26 And Yehovah 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.
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 Yehovah overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
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.
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.
14:30 Thus Yehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians;
and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
14:31 And Israel saw that great work which Yehovah did upon the Egyptians:
and the people feared Yehovah, and believed Yehovah, and his servant
Moses. |
