Exodus 14

ECB(i) 1
PAROH PURSUES THE SONS OF YISRA EL
And Yah Veh words to Mosheh, saying, 2 Word to the sons of Yisra El, to turn and encamp at the face of Pi Ha Hiroth between Migdol and the sea at the face of Baal Sephon: encamp opposite from it by the sea. 3 For Paroh said of the sons of Yisra El, They entangle in the land; the wilderness shuts them in. 4 And I callous the heart of Paroh to pursue after them; that I become honored through Paroh and through all his valiant; that the Misrayim knows I - Yah Veh. - and thus they work. 5 And they tell the sovereign of Misrayim that the people flee: and the heart of Paroh and of his servants turns against the people and they say, Why work we this, - to send Yisra El away from serving us? 6 And he binds his chariot and takes his people with him: 7 and he takes six hundred chosen chariots and all the chariots of Misrayim and tertiaries over everyone of them: 8 and Yah Veh callouses the heart of Paroh sovereign of Misrayim and he pursues after the sons of Yisra El: and the sons of Yisra El go out with lifted hand: 9 and the Misrayim pursue after them - all the horses and chariots of Paroh and his cavalry and his valiant; and overtake them encamping by the sea beside Pi Ha Hiroth at the face of Baal Sephon. 10 And when Paroh approaches, the sons of Yisra El lift their eyes, and behold, the Misrayim pull stakes after them; and they awe mightily. And the sons of Yisra El cry out to Yah Veh, 11 and say to Mosheh, Because there are no tombs in Misrayim, take you us away to die in the wilderness? Why work you thus with us - to carry us forth from Misrayim? 12 Is not this the word we worded you in Misrayim, saying, Cease - and we serve the Misrayim? For better for us to serve the Misrayim than die in the wilderness. 13 And Mosheh says to the people, Awe not! Stand still and see the salvation of Yah Veh which he works to you today: for the Misrayim whom you see today, you see them never again any more eternally: 14 Yah Veh fights for you - and you hush. 15 And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Why cry to me? Word to the sons of Yisra El to pull stakes: 16 and you - lift your rod and spread your hand over the sea and split it: and the sons of Yisra El go midst the sea on dry. 17 And I, behold, I callous the hearts of the Misrayim and they follow them: and I become honored through Paroh and through all his valiant - through his chariots and through his cavalry: 18 and the Misrayim know I - Yah Veh, when I become honored through Paroh - through his chariots and through his cavalry. 19 And the angel of Elohim who goes from the face of the camp of Yisra El pulls stakes and goes behind them; and the pillar of the cloud pulls stakes from their face and stands behind them: 20 and comes between the camp of the Misrayim and between the camp of Yisra El; and it becomes a cloud and darkness to them, but it illuminates by night to these: so that the one approaches not the other all the night. 21 And Mosheh spreads his hand over the sea; and Yah Veh turns back the sea by a strong east wind all that night and parches the sea and splits the waters. 22 And the sons of Yisra El go midst the sea on the dry: and the waters are a wall to them on their right and on their left. 23 And the Misrayim pursue and go in after them midst the sea - all the horses of Paroh, his chariots and his cavalry. 24 And so be it, in the morning watch, Yah Veh looks to the camp of the Misrayim through the pillar of fire and of the cloud and agitates the camp of the Misrayim; 25 and clogs* their chariot wheels so that they drive them with heaviness: so that the Misrayim say, Let us flee from the face of Yisra El; for Yah Veh fights for them against the Misrayim. *clogs: see Lamsa 26 And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Spread your hand over the sea, and return the waters on the Misrayim on their chariots and on their cavalry. 27 And Mosheh spreads his hand over the sea and the sea returns perennial at the face of the morning; and the Misrayim flee from confronting it; and Yah Veh shakes off the Misrayim midst the sea: 28 and the waters return and cover the chariots and the cavalry and all the valiant of Paroh who come into the sea after them; not even one of them survives. 29 And the sons of Yisra El walk on dry midst the sea; and the waters are a wall to them on their right and on their left: 30 and that day, Yah Veh saves Israel from the hand of the Misrayim; and Yisra El sees the Misrayim die on the sea edge: 31 and Yisra El sees the great hand Yah Veh worked on the Misrayim: and the people awe Yah Veh and trust Yah Veh and his servant Mosheh.
