Exodus 14:19-31 ▼

19 And the angel of God, who was going before the face of the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before their face and stood behind them.

20 And it came between the camp of Egypt and between the camp of Israel; and it was the cloud and the darkness, and it gave light by the night. And this one did not come near to the other all the night.

21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and YHWH drove back the sea by a strong east wind all that night, and He made the sea into the dry land, and the waters were divided.

22 And the sons of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were a wall to them from their right and from their left.

23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them—all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen—into the midst of the sea.

24 And it came to pass in the watch of the morning that YHWH looked down to the camp of Egypt through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He threw into confusion the camp of Egypt.

25 And He turned aside the wheel of their chariots, and made it drive with heaviness. And Egypt said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for YHWH is fighting for them against Egypt.”

26 And YHWH said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, and the waters shall return upon Egypt, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”

27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength at the turning of the morning. And Egypt was fleeing toward it, and YHWH shook Egypt in the midst of the sea.

28 And the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, to all the army of Pharaoh that had come in after them into the sea. Not so much as one of them remained.

29 And the sons of Israel had walked on the dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them from their right and from their left.

30 And YHWH saved Israel on that day out of the hand of Egypt, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the edge of the sea.

31 And Israel saw the great hand which YHWH had done against Egypt, and the people feared YHWH, and they believed in YHWH and in Moses His servant.
