1The LORD spoke to Moses.

2“Tell the Israelites”, he said, “they are to turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea to the east of Baal-zephon; your camp shall be opposite, by the sea.

3Pharaoh will then think that the Israelites are finding themselves in difficult country, and are hemmed in by the wilderness.

4I shall make Pharaoh obstinate, and he will pursue them, so that I may win glory for myself at the expense of Pharaoh and all his army; and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.” The Israelites did as they were ordered.

5When it was reported to the Egyptian king that the Israelites had gone, he and his courtiers had a change of heart and said, “What is this we have done? We have let our Israelite slaves go free!”

6Pharaoh had his chariot yoked, and took his troops with him,

7six hundred picked chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt, with a commander in each.

8Then, made obstinate by the LORD, Pharaoh king of Egypt pursued the Israelites as they marched defiantly away.

9The Egyptians, all Pharaoh's chariots and horses, cavalry and infantry, went in pursuit, and overtook them encamped beside the sea by Pi-hahiroth to the east of Baal-zephon.

10Pharaoh was almost upon them when the Israelites looked up and saw the Egyptians close behind, and in terror they clamoured to the LORD for help.

11They said to Moses, “Were there no graves in Egypt, that you have brought us here to perish in the wilderness? See what you have done to us by bringing us out of Egypt!

12Is this not just what we meant when we said in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us be slaves to the Egyptians’? Better for us to serve as slaves to the Egyptians than to perish in the wilderness.”

13But Moses answered, “Have no fear; stand firm and see the deliverance that the LORD will bring you this day; for as sure as you see the Egyptians now, you will never see them again.

14The LORD will fight for you; so say no more.”

15The LORD said to Moses, “What is the meaning of this clamour? Tell the Israelites to strike camp,

16and you are to raise high your staff and hold your hand out over the sea to divide it asunder, so that the Israelites can pass through the sea on dry ground.

17For my part I shall make the Egyptians obstinate and they will come after you; thus I shall win glory for myself at the expense of Pharaoh and his army, chariots and cavalry all together.

18The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I win glory for myself at the expense of their Pharaoh, his chariots and horsemen.”

19The angel of God, who had travelled in front of the Israelites, now moved away to the rear. The pillar of cloud moved from the front and took up its position behind them,

20thus coming between the Egyptians and the Israelites. The cloud brought on darkness and early nightfall, so that contact was lost throughout the night.

21Then Moses held out his hand over the sea, and the LORD drove the sea away with a strong east wind all night long, and turned the seabed into dry land. The waters were divided asunder,

22and the Israelites went through the sea on the dry ground, while the waters formed a wall to right and left of them.

23The Egyptians, all Pharaoh's horse, his chariots and cavalry, followed in pursuit into the sea.

24In the morning watch the LORD looked down on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw them into a panic.

25He clogged their chariot wheels and made them drag along heavily, so that the Egyptians said, “It is the LORD fighting for Israel against Egypt; let us flee.”

26Then the LORD said to Moses, “Hold your hand out over the sea, so that the water may flow back on the Egyptians, their chariots and horsemen.”

27Moses held his hand out over the sea, and at daybreak the water returned to its usual place and the Egyptians fled before its advance, but the LORD swept them into the sea.

28As the water came back it covered all Pharaoh's army, the chariots and cavalry, which had pressed the pursuit into the sea. Not one survived.

29Meanwhile the Israelites had passed along the dry ground through the sea, with the water forming a wall for them to right and to left.

30That day the LORD saved Israel from the power of Egypt. When the Israelites saw the Egyptians lying dead on the seashore,

31and saw the great power which the LORD had put forth against Egypt, the people were in awe of the LORD and put their faith in him and in Moses his servant.
