So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day. 11 And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters. 12 Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.

Against all his servants,

And against all the people of his land.

So You made a name for Yourself, as it is this day.

So that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land;

And their persecutors You threw into the deep,

As a stone into the mighty waters.

And by night with a pillar of fire,

To give them light on the road

Which they should travel.

and with a pillar of fire at night.

It lit the way

they were supposed to go.

and during the night by a column of fire to give them light 

to see the way they should go.

to illuminate the way they should go.
