3 And Pharaoh shall say concerning the children of Israel, 'They are lost in this land, the wilderness has shut them up.'

4 But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them, and I will show My glory on Pharaoh and on all his army. and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.

5 And it was announced to the king of Egypt that the people had fled; And the heart of Pharaoh and his servants turned against this people, and they said, What have we done? why did they let Israel go so that they would not work for us?

6 [Pharaoh] harnessed his chariot, and took his people with him;

7 And he took six hundred chariots of choice, and all the chariots of Egypt, and the captains of them all.

8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; and the children of Israel walked under a high hand.

9 And the Egyptians pursued them, and all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and the horsemen, and all his army, and overtook them that were encamped by the sea, at Pi-hahiroth before Baal-zephon.

10 Pharaoh drew near, and the children of Israel looked back, and behold, the Egyptians were coming after them: and the children of Israel were greatly afraid, and cried out to the Lord,

11 And they said to Moses, 'Are there no sepulchers in Egypt, that thou hast brought us to die in the wilderness?' what has you done to us when you brought us out of Egypt?

12 Is this not what we said to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us, let us work for the Egyptians?' For it is better for us to be a slave to the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.

13 But Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid, but stand still, and you will see the salvation of the Lord which he will wrought for you this day, for the Egyptians whom you see today will never see again;

14 The Lord will fight for you, and you will be calm.

15 And the Lord said to Moses, 'Why do you cry out to me?' Tell the children of Israel to go;

16 And thou shalt lift up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand upon the sea, and divide it, and the children of Israel shall pass through the midst of the sea on dry land.
