- 9:1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and
- tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people
- go, that they may serve me.
- 9:2 For if thou refuse to let [them] go, and wilt hold them
- still,
- 9:3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which
- [is] in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the
- camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: [there shall be] a
- very grievous murrain.
- 9:4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and
- the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all [that
- is] the children's of Israel.
- 9:5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the
- LORD shall do this thing in the land.
- 9:6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the
- cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of
- Israel died not one.
- 9:7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the
- cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was
- hardened, and he did not let the people go.
- 9:8 And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you
- handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it
- toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
- 9:9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt,
- and shall be a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and
- upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
- 9:10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before
- Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became
- a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and upon beast.
- 9:11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because
- of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all
- the Egyptians.
- 9:12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he
- hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
- 9:13 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the
- morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith
- the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may
- serve me.
- 9:14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine
- heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou
- mayest know that [there is] none like me in all the earth.
- 9:15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite
- thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off
- from the earth.
- 9:16 And in very deed for this [cause] have I raised thee up,
- for to show [in] thee my power; and that my name may be
- declared throughout all the earth.
- 9:17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that
- thou wilt not let them go?
- 9:18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to
- rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since
- the foundation thereof even until now.
- 9:19 Send therefore now, [and] gather thy cattle, and all
- that thou hast in the field; [for upon] every man and beast
- which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought
- home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
- 9:20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants
- of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the
- houses:
- 9:21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his
- servants and his cattle in the field.
- 9:22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand
- toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt,
- upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field,
- throughout the land of Egypt.
- 9:23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the
- LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the
- ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
- 9:24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very
- grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of
- Egypt since it became a nation.
- 9:25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all
- that [was] in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote
- every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
- 9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel
- [were], was there no hail.
- 9:27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and
- said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD [is]
- righteous, and I and my people [are] wicked.
- 9:28 Entreat the LORD (for [it is] enough) that there be no
- [more] mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and
- ye shall stay no longer.
- 9:29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the
- city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; [and] the
- thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that
- thou mayest know how that the earth [is] the LORD's.
- 9:30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will
- not yet fear the LORD God.
- 9:31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley
- [was] in the ear, and the flax [was] bolled.
- 9:32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they
- [were] not grown up.
- 9:33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread
- abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail
- ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
- 9:34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the
- thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his
- heart, he and his servants.
- 9:35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he
- let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
- 10:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I
- have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I
- might show these my signs before him:
- 10:2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of
- thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my
- signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I
- [am] the LORD.
- 10:3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto
- him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou
- refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they
- may serve me.
- 10:4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to
- morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
- 10:5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one
- cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue
- of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the
- hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the
- field:
- 10:6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all
- thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which
- neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since
- the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he
- turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
- 10:7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall
- this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may
- serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is
- destroyed?
- 10:8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and
- he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: [but] who [are]
- they that shall go?
- 10:9 And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our
- old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and
- with our herds will we go; for we [must hold] a feast unto the
- LORD.
- 10:10 And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as
- I will let you go, and your little ones: look [to it]; for evil
- [is] before you.
- 10:11 Not so: go now ye [that are] men, and serve the LORD;
- for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's
- presence.
- 10:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand
- over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up
- upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, [even]
- all that the hail hath left.
- 10:13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of
- Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that
- day, and all [that] night; [and] when it was morning, the east
- wind brought the locusts.
- 10:14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and
- rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous [were they];
- before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after
- them shall be such.
- 10:15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that
- the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land,
- and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and
- there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the
- herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
- 10:16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and
- he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against
- you.
- 10:17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this
- once, and entreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from
- me this death only.
- 10:18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
- 10:19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which
- took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there
- remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
- 10:20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would
- not let the children of Israel go.
- 10:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand
- toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of
- Egypt, even darkness [which] may be felt.
- 10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and
- there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
- 10:23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his
- place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light
- in their dwellings.
- 10:24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve
- the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let
- your little ones also go with you.
- 10:25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and
- burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
- 10:26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an
- hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD
- our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD,
- until we come thither.
- 10:27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not
- let them go.
- 10:28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed
- to thyself, see my face no more; for in [that] day thou seest
- my face thou shalt die.
- 10:29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy
- face again no more.
- 11:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one
- plague [more] upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will
- let you go hence: when he shall let [you] go, he shall surely
- thrust you out hence altogether.
- 11:2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man
- borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour,
- jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
- 11:3 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the
- Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses [was] very great in the land
- of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight
- of the people.
- 11:4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will
- I go out into the midst of Egypt:
- 11:5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die,
- from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne,
- even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that [is] behind the
- mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
- 11:6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land
- of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it
- any more.
- 11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a
- dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how
- that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and
- Israel.
- 11:8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and
- bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the
- people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he
- went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
- 11:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken
- unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of
- Egypt.
- 11:10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before
- Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he
- would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
- 12:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of
- Egypt, saying,
- 12:2 This month [shall be] unto you the beginning of months:
- it [shall be] the first month of the year to you.
- 12:3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In
- the tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them every man
- a lamb, according to the house of [their] fathers, a lamb for
- an house:
- 12:4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him
- and his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to
- the number of the souls; every man according to his eating
- shall make your count for the lamb.
- 12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first
- year: ye shall take [it] out from the sheep, or from the goats:
- 12:6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the
- same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of
- Israel shall kill it in the evening.
- 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike [it] on the
- two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses,
- wherein they shall eat it.
- 12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with
- fire, and unleavened bread; [and] with bitter [herbs] they
- shall eat it.
- 12:9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but
- roast [with] fire; his head with his legs, and with the
- purtenance thereof.
- 12:10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the
- morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye
- shall burn with fire.
- 12:11 And thus shall ye eat it; [with] your loins girded,
- your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye
- shall eat it in haste: it [is] the LORD'S passover.
- 12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night,
- and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man
- and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute
- judgment: I [am] the LORD.
- 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the
- houses where ye [are]: and when I see the blood, I will pass
- over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy
- [you], when I smite the land of Egypt.
- 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye
- shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations;
- ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
- 12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the
- first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for
- whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the
- seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
- 12:16 And in the first day [there shall be] an holy
- convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy
- convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them,
- save [that] which every man must eat, that only may be done of
- you.
- 12:17 And ye shall observe [the feast of] unleavened bread;
- for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the
- land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your
- generations by an ordinance for ever.
- 12:18 In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the
- month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and
- twentieth day of the month at even.
- 12:19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your
- houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that
- soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether
- he be a stranger, or born in the land.
- 12:20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations
- shall ye eat unleavened bread.
- 12:21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and
- said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your
- families, and kill the passover.
- 12:22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip [it] in
- the blood that [is] in the basin, and strike the lintel and the
- two side posts with the blood that [is] in the basin; and none
- of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
- 12:23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians;
- and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two
- side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not
- suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite
- [you].
- 12:24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to
- thee and to thy sons for ever.
- 12:25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land
- which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised,
- that ye shall keep this service.
- 12:26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say
- unto you, What mean ye by this service?
- 12:27 That ye shall say, It [is] the sacrifice of the LORD'S
- passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel
- in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our
- houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
- 12:28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the
- LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
- 12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote
- all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of
- Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the
- captive that [was] in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of
- cattle.
- 12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his
- servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in
- Egypt; for [there was] not a house where [there was] not one
- dead.
- 12:31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said,
- Rise up, [and] get you forth from among my people, both ye and
- the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have
- said.
- 12:32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said,
- and be gone; and bless me also.
- 12:33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that
- they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said,
- We [be] all dead [men].
- 12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened,
- their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon
- their shoulders.
- 12:35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of
- Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and
- jewels of gold, and raiment:
- 12:36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the
- Egyptians, so that they lent unto them [such things as they
- required]. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
- 12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to
- Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men,
- beside children.
- 12:38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and
- flocks, and herds, [even] very much cattle.
- 12:39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they
- brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because
- they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had
- they prepared for themselves any victual.
- 12:40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt
- in Egypt, [was] four hundred and thirty years.
- 12:41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and
- thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all
- the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
- 12:42 It [is] a night to be much observed unto the LORD for
- bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this [is] that night
- of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in
- their generations.
- 12:43 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This [is] the
- ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
- 12:44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when
- thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
- 12:45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
- 12:46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry
- forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall
- ye break a bone thereof.
- 12:47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
- 12:48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will
- keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be
- circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he
- shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised
- person shall eat thereof.
- 12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the
- stranger that sojourneth among you.
- 12:50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD
- commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
- 12:51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, [that] the LORD
- did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by
- their armies.
- 13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 13:2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth
- the womb among the children of Israel, [both] of man and of
- beast: it [is] mine.
- 13:3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in
- which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for
- by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this [place]:
- there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
- 13:4 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
- 13:5 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the
- land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and
- the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers
- to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou
- shalt keep this service in this month.
- 13:6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the
- seventh day [shall be] a feast to the LORD.
- 13:7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there
- shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there
- be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
- 13:8 And thou shalt show thy son in that day, saying, [This
- is done] because of that [which] the LORD did unto me when I
- came forth out of Egypt.
- 13:9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand,
- and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may
- be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought
- thee out of Egypt.
- 13:10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season
- from year to year.
- 13:11 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the
- land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy
- fathers, and shall give it thee,
- 13:12 That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that
- openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast
- which thou hast; the males [shall be] the LORD'S.
- 13:13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a
- lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his
- neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt
- thou redeem.
- 13:14 And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to
- come, saying, What [is] this? that thou shalt say unto him, By
- strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the
- house of bondage:
- 13:15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us
- go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt,
- both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast:
- therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix,
- being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
- 13:16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for
- frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD
- brought us forth out of Egypt.
- 13:17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people
- go, that God led them not [through] the way of the land of the
- Philistines, although that [was] near; for God said, Lest
- peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they
- return to Egypt:
- 13:18 But God led the people about, [through] the way of the
- wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up
- harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
- 13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had
- straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely
- visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
- 13:20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped
- in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
- 13:21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a
- cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire,
- to give them light; to go by day and night:
- 13:22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor
- the pillar of fire by night, [from] before the people.
- 14:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 14:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and
- encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over
- against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
- 14:3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They
- [are] entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
- 14:4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow
- after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all
- his host; that the Egyptians may know that I [am] the LORD. And
- they did so.
- 14:5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled:
- and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against
- the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have
- let Israel go from serving us?
- 14:6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with
- him:
- 14:7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the
- chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
- 14:8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of
- Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the
- children of Israel went out with an high hand.
- 14:9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses
- [and] chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and
- overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before
- Baalzephon.
- 14:10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel
- lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after
- them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel
- cried out unto the LORD.
- 14:11 And they said unto Moses, Because [there were] no
- graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the
- wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us
- forth out of Egypt?
- 14:12 [Is] not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt,
- saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For [it
- had been] better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we
- should die in the wilderness.
- 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand
- still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to
- you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye
- shall see them again no more for ever.
- 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your
- peace.
- 14:15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou
- unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go
- forward:
- 14:16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand
- over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall
- go on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.
- 14:17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the
- Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour
- upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and
- upon his horsemen.
- 14:18 And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when
- I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and
- upon his horsemen.
- 14:19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of
- Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the
- cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
- 14:20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the
- camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness [to them], but
- it gave light by night [to these]: so that the one came not
- near the other all the night.
- 14:21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the
- LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that
- night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were
- divided.
- 14:22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the
- sea upon the dry [ground]: and the waters [were] a wall unto
- them on their right hand, and on their left.
- 14:23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to
- the midst of the sea, [even] all Pharaoh's horses, his
- chariots, and his horsemen.
- 14:24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD
- looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of
- fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
- 14:25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them
- heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face
- of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the
- Egyptians.
- 14:26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand
- over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the
- Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
- 14:27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and
- the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and
- the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the
- Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
- 14:28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and
- the horsemen, [and] all the host of Pharaoh that came into the
- sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
- 14:29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry [land] in
- the midst of the sea; and the waters [were] a wall unto them on
- their right hand, and on their left.
- 14:30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of
- the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea
- shore.
- 14:31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon
- the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the
- LORD, and his servant Moses.
- 15:1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song
- unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD,
- for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath
- he thrown into the sea.
- 15:2 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my
- salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an
- habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
- 15:3 The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.
- 15:4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the
- sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
- 15:5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom
- as a stone.
- 15:6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy
- right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
- 15:7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast
- overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth
- thy wrath, [which] consumed them as stubble.
- 15:8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were
- gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, [and]
- the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
- 15:9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will
- divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will
- draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
- 15:10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them:
- they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
- 15:11 Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who
- [is] like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful [in] praises,
- doing wonders?
- 15:12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth
- swallowed them.
- 15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which]
- thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength
- unto thy holy habitation.
- 15:14 The people shall hear, [and] be afraid: sorrow shall
- take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
- 15:15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men
- of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the
- inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
- 15:16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness
- of thine arm they shall be [as] still as a stone; till thy
- people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, [which]
- thou hast purchased.
- 15:17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the
- mountain of thine inheritance, [in] the place, O LORD, [which]
- thou hast made for thee to dwell in, [in] the Sanctuary, O
- Lord, [which] thy hands have established.
- 15:18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
- 15:19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and
- with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the
- waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on
- dry [land] in the midst of the sea.
- 15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a
- timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with
- timbrels and with dances.
- 15:21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he
- hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he
- thrown into the sea.
- 15:22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went
- out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in
- the wilderness, and found no water.
- 15:23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of
- the waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter: therefore the name
- of it was called Marah.
- 15:24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What
- shall we drink?
- 15:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a
- tree, [which] when he had cast into the waters, the waters were
- made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance,
- and there he proved them,
- 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice
- of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his
- sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his
- statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I
- have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that
- healeth thee.
- 15:27 And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve wells of
- water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped
- there by the waters.
