Pharaoh Pursues the Israelites
1
Then [[YHWH|the LORD]] said to Moses…,
יְהֹוָ֖ה וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ Yah·weh way·ḏab·bêr ’el- mō·šeh lê·mōr — WLC · 1
2
“Tell the Israelites… to turn back and encamp before vvv Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol… and the sea. You are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite vvv Baal-zephon…
דַּבֵּר֮ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ אֶל־ וְיָשֻׁ֗בוּ וְיַחֲנוּ֙ לִפְנֵי֙ פִּ֣י הַחִירֹ֔ת בֵּ֥ין מִגְדֹּ֖ל וּבֵ֣ין הַיָּ֑ם תַחֲנ֖וּ עַל־ הַיָּֽם׃ לִפְנֵי֙ בַּ֣עַל צְפֹ֔ן נִכְח֥וֹ dab·bêr bə·nê yiś·rā·’êl ’el- wə·yā·šu·ḇū wə·ya·ḥă·nū lip̄·nê pî ha·ḥî·rōṯ bên miḡ·dōl ū·ḇên hay·yām ṯa·ḥă·nū ‘al- hay·yām lip̄·nê ba·‘al ṣə·p̄ōn niḵ·ḥōw — WLC · 2
Λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀποστρέψαντες στρατοπεδευσάτωσαν ἀπέναντι τὴς ἐπαύλεως, ἀνὰ μέσον Μαγδώλου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς θαλάσσης, ἐξ ἐναντίας Βεελσεπφών· ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν στρατοπεδεύσεις ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης. — LXX Swete · 2

For Pharaoh will say vvv of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in.’
פַּרְעֹה֙ וְאָמַ֤ר לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הֵ֖ם בָּאָ֑רֶץ נְבֻכִ֥ים הַמִּדְבָּֽר׃ סָגַ֥ר עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם par·‘ōh wə·’ā·mar liḇ·nê yiś·rā·’êl hêm bā·’ā·reṣ nə·ḇu·ḵîm ham·miḏ·bār sā·ḡar ‘ă·lê·hem — WLC · 3
καὶ ἐρεῖ Φαραὼ τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ Ol υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πλανῶνται οὗτοι ἐν τῇ γῇ. συνκέκλεικεν γὰρ αὐτοὺς ἡ ἔρημος. — LXX Swete · 3
4
And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart so that he will pursue them. But I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am [[YHWH|the LORD]].” So this is what the Israelites did.
וְחִזַּקְתִּ֣י אֶת־ פַּרְעֹה֮ לֵב־ וְרָדַ֣ף אַחֲרֵיהֶם֒ וְאִכָּבְדָ֤ה בְּפַרְעֹה֙ וּבְכָל־ חֵיל֔וֹ מִצְרַ֖יִם וְיָדְע֥וּ כִּֽי־ אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כֵֽן׃ וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ־ wə·ḥiz·zaq·tî ’eṯ- par·‘ōh lêḇ- wə·rā·ḏap̄ ’a·ḥă·rê·hem wə·’ik·kā·ḇə·ḏāh bə·p̄ar·‘ōh ū·ḇə·ḵāl ḥê·lōw miṣ·ra·yim wə·yā·ḏə·‘ū kî- ’ă·nî Yah·weh ḵên way·ya·‘ă·śū- — WLC · 4
ἐγὼ δὲ σκληρυνῶ τὴν καρδίαν Φαραώ, καὶ καταδιώξεται ὀπίσω αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐνδοξασθήσομαι ἐν Φαραὼ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ στρατιᾷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος. καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως. — LXX Swete · 4
5
When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about [them] and said, “What… have we done?… We have released Israel from serving us.”
לְמֶ֣לֶךְ מִצְרַ֔יִם וַיֻּגַּד֙ כִּ֥י הָעָ֑ם בָרַ֖ח פַּרְעֹ֤ה וַעֲבָדָיו֙ וַ֠יֵּהָפֵךְ לְבַ֨ב אֶל־ הָעָ֔ם וַיֹּֽאמרוּ֙ מַה־ זֹּ֣את עָשִׂ֔ינוּ כִּֽי־ שִׁלַּ֥חְנוּ אֶת־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מֵעָבְדֵֽנוּ׃ lə·me·leḵ miṣ·ra·yim way·yug·gaḏ kî hā·‘ām ḇā·raḥ par·‘ōh wa·‘ă·ḇā·ḏāw way·yê·hā·p̄êḵ lə·ḇaḇ ’el- hā·‘ām way·yō·m·rū mah- zōṯ ‘ā·śî·nū kî- šil·laḥ·nū ’eṯ- yiś·rā·’êl mê·‘ā·ḇə·ḏê·nū — WLC · 5

So [Pharaoh] prepared his chariot and took his army with him.

He took 600… of the best chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them.
וַיִּקַּ֗ח שֵׁשׁ־ מֵא֥וֹת בָּח֔וּר רֶ֙כֶב֙ וְכֹ֖ל רֶ֣כֶב מִצְרָ֑יִם וְשָׁלִשִׁ֖ם עַל־ כֻּלּֽוֹ׃ way·yiq·qaḥ šêš- mê·’ō·wṯ bā·ḥūr re·ḵeḇ wə·ḵōl re·ḵeḇ miṣ·rā·yim wə·šā·li·šim ‘al- kul·lōw — WLC · 7

8
And [[YHWH|the LORD]] hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so that he pursued… the Israelites…, - who were marching out defiantly…
יְהֹוָ֗ה אֶת־ וַיְחַזֵּ֣ק לֵ֤ב פַּרְעֹה֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ מִצְרַ֔יִם וַיִּרְדֹּ֕ף אַחֲרֵ֖י בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וּבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יֹצְאִ֖ים בְּיָ֥ד רָמָֽה׃ Yah·weh ’eṯ- way·ḥaz·zêq lêḇ par·‘ōh me·leḵ miṣ·ra·yim way·yir·dōp̄ ’a·ḥă·rê bə·nê yiś·rā·’êl ū·ḇə·nê yiś·rā·’êl yō·ṣə·’îm bə·yāḏ rā·māh — WLC · 8

The Egyptians— all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops— pursued [the Israelites] and overtook them as they camped by the sea near vvv Pi-hahiroth, opposite vvv Baal-zephon.

10
As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites… looked up… and saw the Egyptians marching after them, and [they]… were terrified… and cried out to [[YHWH|the LORD]].
וּפַרְעֹ֖ה הִקְרִ֑יב בְנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֨ל אֶת־ וַיִּשְׂאוּ֩ עֵינֵיהֶ֜ם וְהִנֵּ֥ה מִצְרַ֣יִם׀ נֹסֵ֣עַ אַחֲרֵיהֶ֗ם בְנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וַיִּֽירְאוּ֙ מְאֹ֔ד וַיִּצְעֲק֥וּ אֶל־ יְהוָֽה׃ ū·p̄ar·‘ōh hiq·rîḇ ḇə·nê- yiś·rā·’êl ’eṯ- way·yiś·’ū ‘ê·nê·hem wə·hin·nêh miṣ·ra·yim nō·sê·a‘ ’a·ḥă·rê·hem ḇə·nê- yiś·rā·’êl way·yî·rə·’ū mə·’ōḏ way·yiṣ·‘ă·qū ’el- Yah·weh — WLC · 10

11
They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us into the wilderness to die? What… have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?
וַיֹּאמְרוּ֮ אֶל־ מֹשֶׁה֒ אֵין־ הַֽמִבְּלִ֤י קְבָרִים֙ בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם לְקַחְתָּ֖נוּ בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר לָמ֣וּת מַה־ זֹּאת֙ עָשִׂ֣יתָ לָּ֔נוּ לְהוֹצִיאָ֖נוּ מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃ way·yō·mə·rū ’el- mō·šeh ’ên- ha·mib·bə·lî qə·ḇā·rîm bə·miṣ·ra·yim lə·qaḥ·tā·nū bam·miḏ·bār lā·mūṯ mah- zōṯ ‘ā·śî·ṯā lā·nū lə·hō·w·ṣî·’ā·nū mim·miṣ·rā·yim — WLC · 11

12
{Did we} not - say to you in Egypt…, ‘Leave us alone… so that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”

13
But Moses told… the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see [[YHWH|the LORD]]’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today -…, you will never… see again…

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Parting the Red Sea
15
Then [[YHWH|the LORD]] said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell… the Israelites… to go forward.
יְהוָה֙ וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֔ה מַה־ תִּצְעַ֖ק אֵלָ֑י דַּבֵּ֥ר אֶל־ בְּנֵי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וְיִסָּֽעוּ׃ Yah·weh way·yō·mer ’el- mō·šeh mah- tiṣ·‘aq ’ê·lāy dab·bêr ’el- bə·nê- yiś·rā·’êl wə·yis·sā·‘ū — WLC · 15

16
And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites… can go through the sea on dry ground.

17
And I… will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. Then I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army and chariots and horsemen.

18
The Egyptians will know that I am [[YHWH|the LORD]] when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

19
And the angel of God, who had gone before the camp of Israel, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from before them and stood behind them,

20
so that it came between the camps of Egypt and… Israel. The cloud was there in the darkness, but it lit up the night. So all night long neither [camp] went near the other…

21
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night [[YHWH|the LORD]] drove back the sea with a strong east wind that turned [it] into dry land. So the waters were divided,

22
and the Israelites… went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.

23
And the Egyptians chased after them— all Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen— and followed them into… the sea.

24
At morning watch, however, [[YHWH|the LORD]] looked down on the army of the Egyptians from the pillar of fire and cloud, and He threw their camp into confusion -…

25
He caused their chariot wheels to wobble, so that they had difficulty driving. “Let us flee from the Israelites,” said the Egyptians, “for [[YHWH|the LORD]] is fighting for them against Egypt!”

καὶ συνέδησεν τοὺς ἄξονας τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτῶν, καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς μετὰ βίας. καὶ εἶπαν οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι Φύγωμεν ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσπάήλ. ὁ γὰρ κύριος πολεμοῖ περὶ αὐτῶν τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους. — LXX Swete · 25
26
Then [[YHWH|the LORD]] said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians [and] their chariots… and horsemen.”
יְהוָה֙ וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֔ה נְטֵ֥ה אֶת־ יָדְךָ֖ עַל־ הַיָּ֑ם הַמַּ֙יִם֙ וְיָשֻׁ֤בוּ עַל־ מִצְרַ֔יִם עַל־ רִכְבּ֖וֹ וְעַל־ פָּרָשָֽׁיו׃ Yah·weh way·yō·mer ’el- mō·šeh nə·ṭêh ’eṯ- yā·ḏə·ḵā ‘al- hay·yām ham·ma·yim wə·yā·šu·ḇū ‘al- miṣ·ra·yim ‘al- riḵ·bōw wə·‘al- pā·rā·šāw — WLC · 26
Εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν Ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν, κα ἀποκαταστήτω τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ ἐπικαλυψάτω τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους, ἐπί τε τὰ ἅρματα καὶ τοὺς ἀναβάτας. — LXX Swete · 26
27
So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak… the sea returned to its normal state. As the Egyptians were retreating -, [[YHWH|the LORD]] - swept them into the sea.

28
The waters flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen— the entire army of Pharaoh that had chased [the Israelites] into the sea. Not one of them survived…

But the Israelites… had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left.

30
That day [[YHWH|the LORD]] saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore…

31
When Israel saw the great power that [[YHWH|the LORD]] had exercised over the Egyptians, the people feared [[YHWH|the LORD]] and believed in Him and in His servant Moses.
