Then the Lord said to Moses, \u201cTell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon. Pharaoh will think, \u2018The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.\u2019 And I will harden Pharaoh\u2019s heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord .\u201d So the Israelites did this.<\/p>

When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, \u201cWhat have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!\u201d So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him. He took six hundred of the best chariots, along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them. The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly. The Egyptians\u2014all Pharaoh\u2019s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops\u2014pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon.<\/p>

As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord . They said to Moses, \u201cWas it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Didn\u2019t we say to you in Egypt, \u2018Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians\u2019? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!\u201d<\/p>

Moses answered the people, \u201cDo not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.\u201d<\/p>

Then the Lord said to Moses, \u201cWhy are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.\u201d<\/p>

Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel\u2019s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them, coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.<\/p>

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.<\/p>

The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh\u2019s horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea. During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion. He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, \u201cLet\u2019s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.\u201d<\/p>

Then the Lord said to Moses, \u201cStretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.\u201d Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing toward it, and the Lord swept them into the sea. The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen\u2014the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.<\/p>

But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. That day the Lord saved Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore. And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.<\/p>
