Dual Panel1The Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>:
2“Tell <01696> the Israelites <03478> <01121> that they must turn <07725> and camp <02583> before <06440> Pi-hahiroth <06367>, between <0996> Migdol <04024> and <0996> the sea <03220>; you are to camp <02583> by <05226> the sea <03220> before <06440> Baal Zephon <01189> opposite <05921> it.
3Pharaoh <06547> will think <0559> regarding the Israelites <03478> <01121>, ‘They <01992> are wandering around confused <0943> in the land <0776>– the desert <04057> has closed <05462> in on <05921> them.’
4I will harden <02388> Pharaoh’s <06547> heart <03820>, and he will chase <07291> after <0310> them. I will gain honor <03513> because of Pharaoh <06547> and because of all <03605> his army <02426>, and the Egyptians <04713> will know <03045> that <03588> I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.” So <03651> this is what they did <06213>.
5When it was reported <05046> to the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> that <03588> the people <05971> had fled <01272>, the heart <03824> of Pharaoh <06547> and his servants <05650> was turned <02015> against <0413> the people <05971>, and the king and his servants said <0559>, “What <04100> in the world have we done <06213>? For <03588> we have released <07971> the people of Israel <03478> from serving <05647> us!”
6Then he prepared <0631> his chariots <07393> and took <03947> his army <05971> with <05973> him.
7He took <03947> six <08337> hundred <03967> select <0970> chariots <07393>, and all <03605> the rest of the chariots <07393> of Egypt <04714>, and officers <07991> on <05921> all <03605> of them.
8But the Lord <03068> hardened <02388> the heart <03820> of Pharaoh <06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714>, and he chased <07291> after <0310> the Israelites <03478> <01121>. Now the Israelites <03478> <01121> were going out <03318> defiantly <07311> <03027>.
9The Egyptians <04713> chased <07291> after <0310> them, and all <03605> the horses <05483> and chariots <07393> of Pharaoh <06547> and his horsemen <06571> and his army <02428> overtook <05381> them camping <02583> by <05921> the sea <03220>, beside <05921> Pi-hahiroth <06367>, before <06440> Baal-Zephon <01189>.
10When Pharaoh <06547> got closer <07126>, the Israelites <03478> <01121> looked up <05375>, and there were the Egyptians <04713> marching <05265> after <0310> them, and they were terrified <03966> <03372>. The Israelites <03478> <01121> cried out <06817> to <0413> the Lord <03068>,
11and they said <0559> to <0413> Moses <04872>, “Is it because <01097> there are no <0369> graves <06913> in Egypt <04714> that you have taken <03947> us away to die <04191> in the desert <04057>? What <04100> in the world have you done <06213> to us by bringing us out <03318> of Egypt <04714>?
12Isn’t <03808> this <02088> what <01697> we told <01696> you in Egypt <04714>, ‘Leave <02308> us alone <02308> so that we can serve <05647> the Egyptians <04713>, because <03588> it is better <02896> for us to serve <05647> the Egyptians <04713> than to die <04191> in the desert <04057>!’”
13Moses <04872> said <0559> to <0413> the people <05971>, “Do not <0408> fear <03372>! Stand firm <03320> and see <07200> the salvation <03444> of the Lord <03068> that <0834> he will provide <06213> for you today <03117>; for <03588> the Egyptians <04713> that <0834> you see <07200> today <03117> you will never <03254> <03808>, ever <05769> see <07200> again <05769>. again <05704> <05750>.
14The Lord <03068> will fight <03898> for you, and you <0859> can be still <02790>.”
15The Lord <03068> said <0559> to <0413> Moses <04872>, “Why <04100> do you cry out <06817> to <0413> me? Tell <01696> the Israelites <03478> <01121> to move on <05265>.
16And as for you <0859>, lift up <07311> your staff <04294> and extend <05186> your hand <03027> toward the sea <03220> and divide <01234> it, so that the Israelites <03478> <01121> may go through <0935> the middle <08432> of the sea <03220> on dry ground <03004>.
17And as for me, I <0589> am going to harden <02388> the hearts <03820> of the Egyptians <04713> so that they will come <0935> after <0310> them, that I may be honored <03513> because of Pharaoh <06547> and his army <02426> and his chariots <07393> and his horsemen <06571>.
18And the Egyptians <04713> will know <03045> that <03588> I <0589> am the Lord <03068> when I have gained <03513> my honor <03513> because of Pharaoh <06547>, his chariots <07393>, and his horsemen <06571>.”
19The angel <04397> of God <0430>, who was going <01980> before <06440> the camp <04264> of Israel <03478>, moved <05265> and went <01980> behind <0310> them, and the pillar <05982> of cloud <06051> moved <05265> from before <06440> them and stood <05975> behind <0310> them.
20It came <0935> between <0996> the Egyptian <04714> camp <04264> and the Israelite <03478> camp <04264>; it was <01961> a dark <02822> cloud <06051> and it lit <0215> up the <0853> night <03915> so that one <02088> camp did not <03808> come near <07126> the other <02088> the whole <03605> night <03915>.
21Moses <04872> stretched <05186> out his hand <03027> toward <05921> the sea <03220>, and the Lord <03068> drove <01980> the sea <03220> apart by a strong <05794> east <06921> wind <07307> all <03605> that night <03915>, and he made <07760> the sea <03220> into dry land <02724>, and the water <04325> was divided <01234>.
22So the Israelites <03478> <01121> went <0935> through the middle <08432> of the sea <03220> on dry ground <03004>, the water <04325> forming a wall <02346> for them on their right <03225> and on their left <08040>.
23The Egyptians <04713> chased <07291> them and followed <0310> them into <0413> the middle <08432> of the sea <03220>– all <03605> the horses <05483> of Pharaoh <06547>, his chariots <07393>, and his horsemen <06571>.
24In the morning <01242> watch <0821> the Lord <03068> looked down <08259> on <0413> the Egyptian <04713> army <04264> through the pillar <05982> of fire <0784> and cloud <06051>, and he threw <02000> the Egyptian <04713> army <04264> into a panic <02000>.
25He jammed <05493> the wheels <0212> of their chariots <04818> so that they had difficulty <03517> driving <05090>, and the Egyptians <04713> said <0559>, “Let’s flee <05127> from <06440> Israel <03478>, for <03588> the Lord <03068> fights <03898> for them against Egypt <04713>!”
26The Lord <03068> said <0559> to <0413> Moses <04872>, “Extend <05186> your hand <03027> toward <05921> the sea <03220>, so that the waters <04325> may flow back <07725> on <05921> the Egyptians <04713>, on <05921> their chariots <07393>, and on <05921> their horsemen <06571>!”
27So Moses <04872> extended <05186> his hand <03027> toward the sea <03220>, and the sea <03220> returned <07725> to its normal state <0386> when the sun <01242> began to rise. Now the Egyptians <04713> were fleeing <05127> before <07125> it, but the Lord <03068> overthrew <05287> the Egyptians <04713> in the middle <08432> of the sea <03220>.
28The water <04325> returned <07725> and covered <03680> the chariots <07393> and the horsemen <06571> and all <03605> the army <02426> of Pharaoh <06547> that was coming <0935> after <0310> the Israelites into the sea <03220>– not <03808> so much as <05704> one <0259> of them survived <07604>!
29But the Israelites <03478> <01121> walked <01980> on dry ground <03004> in the middle <08432> of the sea <03220>, the water <04325> forming a wall <02346> for them on their right <03225> and on their left <08040>.
30So the Lord <03068> saved <03467> Israel <03478> on that day <03117> from the power <03027> of the Egyptians <04713>, and Israel <03478> saw <07200> the Egyptians <04713> dead <04191> on <05921> the shore <08193> of the sea <03220>.
31When Israel <03478> saw <07200> the great <01419> power <03027> that <0834> the Lord <03068> had exercised <06213> over the Egyptians <04713>, they <05971> feared <03372> the Lord <03068>, and they believed <0539> in the Lord <03068> and in his servant <05650> Moses <04872>.
