Exodus 14:19–25

^19aThen the angel of God, who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them.

²⁰So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud ¹along with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Thus the one did not come near the other all night.

^21aThen Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Yahweh ¹swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea into ^bdry ground, so ^cthe waters were split.

^22aSo the sons of Israel ¹went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and ^bthe waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

²³Then ^athe Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea.

²⁴Then at the morning watch, ^aYahweh looked down on the camp of the Egyptians ¹through the pillar of fire and cloud and brought the camp of the Egyptians into confusion.

²⁵And He ¹caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians said, “Let ²us flee from Israel, ^afor Yahweh is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”
