³Pharaoh will think, ‘The people of Israel are wandering around the land. They don’t know which way to go. The desert is all around them.’

For Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel, ‘They are wandering in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.’

Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’

Pharaoh will say of the Israelites: They are wandering around the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in.

Then Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are confused. They are trapped in the wilderness!’

And Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering around in the land. The desert has closed in on them.’

For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
