Exodus 14: 5-29 Crossing the Red
Sea
When the king of Egypt was
told that the people had escaped, he and his officials changed their minds and
said, "What have we done? We have let the Israelites escape, and we have lost
them as our slaves!" The king got his war chariot and his army ready.7 He
set out with all his chariots, including the six hundred finest, commanded by
their officers.
The Lord made the
king stubborn, and he pursued the Israelites, who were leaving
triumphantly. The Egyptian army, with all the horses, chariots, and
drivers, pursued them and caught up with them where they were camped by the Red
Sea near Pi Hahiroth and Baal Zephon.
When the Israelites saw the king and his army
marching against them, they were terrified and cried out to the Lord for
help. Moses answered, "Don't be afraid! Stand your ground, and you will see
what the Lord will do to save you today; you will never see these Egyptians
again. The Lord will fight for you, and all you have to do is keep
still."
The Lord said to Moses, "Why
are you crying out for help? Tell the people to move forward. Lift up your
walking stick and hold it out over the sea. The water will divide, and the
Israelites will be able to walk through the sea on dry
ground.
The angel of God, who
had been in front of the army of Israel, moved and went to the rear. The pillar
of cloud also moved until it was between the Egyptians and the Israelites. The
cloud made it dark for the Egyptians, but gave light to the people of Israel,
and so the armies could not come near each other all night.
Moses held out his hand over the sea, and the Lord
drove the sea back with a strong east wind. It blew all night and turned the sea
into dry land. The water was divided, and the Israelites went through the
sea on dry ground, with walls of water on both sides. The Egyptians pursued them
and went after them into the sea with all their horses, chariots, and drivers.
Just before dawn the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the
Egyptian army and threw them into a panic. He made the wheels of their
chariots get stuck, so that they moved with great difficulty. The Egyptians
said, "The Lord is fighting for the Israelites against us. Let's get out of
here!"
The Lord said to Moses, "Hold
out your hand over the sea, and the water will come back over the Egyptians and
their chariots and drivers." So Moses held out his hand over the sea, and
at daybreak the water returned to its normal level. The Egyptians tried to
escape from the water, but the Lord threw them into the sea. The water
returned and covered the chariots, the drivers, and all the Egyptian army that
had followed the Israelites into the sea; not one of them was left. But the
Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on both
sides.
