1   And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2   Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall you encamp by the sea.
3   For  Pharaoh  will  say  of  the  children  of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut them in.
4   And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will get glory  over Pharaoh,   and   over   all   his   host;   that   the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
5   And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants  was  turned  against  the  people,  and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6   And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7   And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8   And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with defiance.
9   But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamped by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
10   And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians  marched after them; and they were greatly afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
11   And they said unto Moses, Because there were  no  graves  in  Egypt,  have  you  taken  us away to die in the wilderness? why have you dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12   Is not this the word that we did tell you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13   And Moses said unto the people, Fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which   he   will   show to you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall see them again no more forever.
14   The LORD shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.

Crossing the Sea
15   And the LORD said unto Moses, Why do you cry unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16   But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17   And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will  get  honor  over  Pharaoh,  and  over  all  his host, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18   And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
19   And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20   And 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.
21   And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22   And the 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.
23   And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's  horses,  his  chariots, and  his horsemen.
24   And it came to pass, that in the 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,
25   And took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.
26   And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27   And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its place when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against   it;   and   the   LORD   overthrew   the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28   And the 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 one of them.
29   But the 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.
30   Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31   And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
