Read Exodus 14 in full →15Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Speak to the sons of Israel so that they go forward. 16“As for you, raise up ayour staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and split it, and the sons of Israel shall 1go through the midst of the sea on dry land. 17“As for Me, behold, aI will 1harden the hearts of the Egyptians with strength so that they will go in after them; and I will be glorified through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. 18“aThen the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh, when I am glorified through Pharaoh, through his chariots and his horsemen.”
19aThen the angel of God, who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them. 20So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud 1along with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Thus the one did not come near the other all night.
21aThen Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Yahweh 1swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea into bdry ground, so cthe waters were split. 22aSo the sons of Israel 1went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and bthe waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23Then athe Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea. 24Then at the morning watch, aYahweh looked down on the camp of the Egyptians 1through the pillar of fire and cloud and brought the camp of the Egyptians into confusion. 25And He 1caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians said, “Let 2us flee from Israel, afor Yahweh is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”
26Then Yahweh said to Moses, “aStretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.” 27So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and athe sea returned to its normal state at daybreak while the Egyptians were fleeing 1right into it; then Yahweh 2,boverthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28And the waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, 1even Pharaoh’s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; anot even one of them remained. 29But the sons of Israel walked on adry land through the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
