Exodus 14:15-30
15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward.
16 As for you, lift up (A)your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall (a)go through the midst of the sea on dry land.
17 As for Me, behold, (B)I will (b)harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen.
18 (C)Then the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, when I am honored through Pharaoh, through his chariots and his horsemen.”
19 (D)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.
20 So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud (c)along with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Thus the one did not come near the other all night.
21 (E)Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord (d)swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into (F)dry land, so (G)the waters were divided.
22 (H)The sons of Israel (e)went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and (I)the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
23 Then (J)the Egyptians took up the pursuit, and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea.
24 At the morning watch, (K)the Lord looked down on the (f)army of the Egyptians (g)through the pillar of fire and cloud and brought the (h)army of the Egyptians into confusion.
25 He (i)caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians said, “Let (j)us flee from Israel, (L)for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “(M)Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.”
27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and (N)the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing (k)right into it; then the Lord (l)(O)overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, (m)even Pharaoh’s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; (P)not even one of them remained.
29 But the sons of Israel walked on (Q)dry land through the midst of the sea, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
