Exodus 14:13–31

¹³And Moses said unto the people, ^qFear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: ^||for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. ^14rThe Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall ^shold your peace. ¹⁵And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: ¹⁶But ^tlift 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. ¹⁷And I, behold, I will ^uharden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will ^xget me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. ¹⁸And the Egyptians ^yshall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. ¹⁹And ^zthe angel of God, 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: ²⁰And 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.

²¹And Moses ^astretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and ^bmade the sea ^cdry land, and the waters were ^ddivided. ²²And ^ethe 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. ²³And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. ²⁴And it came to pass, that in ^fthe morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, ²⁵And took off their chariot wheels, ^||that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord ^gfighteth for them against the Egyptians. ²⁶And the Lord said unto Moses, ^hStretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. ²⁷ⁱAnd Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea ^kreturned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; ^land the Lord ^†overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. ²⁸And ^mthe 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 ⁿone of them. ²⁹But ^othe 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. ³⁰Thus the Lord ^psaved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. ³¹And Israel saw that great ^†work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and ^qbelieved the Lord, and his servant Moses.
