Shemoth (Exodus) 14

Exod 14:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 14:2 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they turn and camp before
Pi Haḥiroth, between Miḡdol and the sea, opposite Ba‛al Tsephon – camp
before it by the sea.
Exod 14:3 “For Pharaoh shall say of the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘They are
entangled in the land, the wilderness has closed them in.’
Exod 14:4 “And I shall harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he shall pursue
them. But I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh and over all his army, and the
Mitsrites shall know that I am .יהוה” And they did so.
Exod 14:5 And it was reported to the sovereign of Mitsrayim that the people
had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the
people. And they said, “Why have we done this, that we have let Yisra’ĕl go
from serving us?”
Exod 14:6 So he made his chariot ready and took his people with him.
Exod 14:7 And he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of
Mitsrayim with officers over all of them.
Exod 14:8 And יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim,
and he pursued the children of Yisra’ĕl, but the children of Yisra’ĕl went out
defiantly.
Exod 14:9 And the Mitsrites pursued them, and all the horses and chariots of
Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the
sea beside Pi Haḥiroth, before Ba‛al Tsephon.
Exod 14:10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Yisra’ĕl lifted
their eyes and saw the Mitsrites coming up after them. And they were greatly
afraid, so the children of Yisra’ĕl cried out to יהוה.
Exod 14:11 And they said to Mosheh, “Did you take us away to die in the
wilderness because there are no graves in Mitsrayim? What is this you have
done to us, to bring us up out of Mitsrayim?
Exod 14:12 “Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Mitsrayim, saying,
‘Leave us alone and let us serve the Mitsrites?’ For it would have been
better for us to serve the Mitsrites than to die in the wilderness.”
Exod 14:13 And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still,
and see the deliverance of יהוה, which He does for you today. For the
Mitsrites whom you see today, you are never, never to see again.
Exod 14:14 “ יהוה does fight for you, and you keep still.”
Exod 14:15 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, and let them go forward.
Exod 14:16 “And you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the
sea and divide it, and let the children of Yisra’ĕl go on dry ground through
the midst of the sea.
Exod 14:17 “And I, see I am hardening the hearts of the Mitsrites, and they
shall follow them. And I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh and over all his
army, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exod 14:18 “And the Mitsrites shall know that I am יהוה, when I am
esteemed through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
Exod 14:19 And the Messenger of Elohim, who went before the camp of
Yisra’ĕl, moved and went behind them. And the column of cloud went from
before them and stood behind them,
Exod 14:20 and came between the camp of the Mitsrites and the camp of
Yisra’ĕl. And it was the cloud and the darkness, and it gave light by night,
and the one did not come near the other all the night.
Exod 14:21 And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea. And יהוה
caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the
sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.
Exod 14:22 And the children of Yisra’ĕl went into the midst of the sea on
dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their
left.
Exod 14:23 And the Mitsrites pursued and went after them into the midst of
the sea, all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exod 14:24 And it came to be, in the morning watch, that יהוה looked down
upon the army of the Mitsrites through the column of fire and cloud, and He
brought the army of the Mitsrites into confusion.
Exod 14:25 And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them
with difficulty. And the Mitsrites said, “Let us flee from the face of Yisra’ĕl,
for יהוה fights for them against the Mitsrites.”
Exod 14:26 Then יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand over the sea,
and let the waters come back upon the Mitsrites, on their chariots, and on
their horsemen.”
Exod 14:27 And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea
returned to its usual flow, at the break of day, with the Mitsrites fleeing into
it. Thus יהוה overthrew the Mitsrites in the midst of the sea,
Exod 14:28 and the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the
horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them, and
not even one was left of them.
Exod 14:29 And the children of Yisra’ĕl walked on dry ground in the midst
of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left.
Exod 14:30 Thus יהוה saved Yisra’ĕl that day out of the hand of the
Mitsrites, and Yisra’ĕl saw the Mitsrites dead on the seashore.
Exod 14:31 And Yisra’ĕl saw the great work which יהוה had done in
Mitsrayim, and the people feared יהוה, and believed יהוה and His servant
Mosheh.
