And I willhardenPharaoh’sheart, that he shallfollowafterthem; and I will be honoureduponPharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may knowthat I am the LORD. And they did so.
And it was told the king of Egyptthat the peoplefled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turnedagainst the people, and theysaid, Why have we donethis, that we have let Israel go fromserving us?
And the LORDhardened the heart of Pharaohking of Egypt, and he pursuedafter the children of Israel: and the children of Israelwent out with an highhand.
But the Egyptianspursuedafterthem, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtookthemencamping by the sea, besidePihahiroth, beforeBaalzephon.

And Mosessaidunto the people, Fear ye not, standstill, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he willshew to you to day: for the Egyptianswhom ye haveseen to day, ye shall see themagain no more for ever.

And Mosesstretched out his handover the sea; and the LORDcaused the sea to go back by a strongeastwind all thatnight, and made the sea dry land, and the watersweredivided.

And the LORDsaiduntoMoses, Stretch out thinehandover the sea, that the waters may comeagainupon the Egyptians, upontheirchariots, and upontheirhorsemen.

And the watersreturned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaohthatcameinto the sea afterthem; thereremained not so much as one of them.
