Exodus 13:17-15:26

17 And it happened, in Pharaoh's sending away the people, Elohim did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, though it was near. For Elohim said, Lest the people repent when they see war, and return to Egypt.
18 But Elohim made the people turn toward the way of the wilderness, to the Sea of Reeds. And the sons of Israel went up armed from the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him. For he had made the sons of Israel certainly swear, saying, surely Elohim will visit you, and you shall cause my bones to go from here with you.4 (Gen 50:24-25)
20 And they pulled up stakes from Succoth, and they camped at Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 And YAHUVEH was going before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them in the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give light to them, to go by day and by night. (Gen 15:17)
22 The pillar of cloud did not cease by day, and the pillar of fire by night, before the people.5 (Ex 14:19, 33:9-11)

*~Chapter 14~*

1 And YAHUVEH spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and let them turn and camp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-Zephon. You shall camp opposite it, by the sea.(Ex 23:31)
3 And Pharaoh will say as to the sons of Israel, they are wandering and the land has shut them in the wilderness,
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue you. And I will be honored through Pharaoh, and through all his armies. And the Egyptians shall know that I am YAHUVEH. And they did so.
5 And it was told to the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned as to the people. And they said, what is this we have done? For we have sent away Israel from serving us.
6 And he prepared his chariots. And he took his people with him.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and officers over all of them.
8 And YAHUVEH hardened Pharaoh, king of Egypt's heart. And he pursued the sons of Israel. And the sons of Israel were going out with a high hand.
9 And the Egyptians pursued them. And they overtook them camping by the sea, all the horses and the chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, by Pihahiroth, before Baal- Zephon.
10 And Pharaoh came near, and the sons of Israel raised their eyes, and, behold! The Egyptians were pulling up after them! And they were greatly afraid. And the sons of Israel cried to YAHUVEH.
11 And they said to Moses, Were there no graves in Egypt, that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What is this you have done to us, to bring us out from Egypt?
12 Is this not the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Go away from us, and let us serve the Egyptians. For it is good for us to serve the Egyptians, than to die in the wilderness.
13 And Moses said to the people, Do not be afraid. Take your stand and see the salvation (YAHUSHUA*) of YAHUVEH, which He will prepare for you today. For as you see the Egyptians today, you shall not continue to see them again forever.
14 YAHUVEH will fight for you, and you be silent.
15 And YAHUVEH said to Moses, Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and let them pull up stakes.
16 And you, raise your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it so that the sons of Israel may go in the midst of the sea on dry ground.
17 And behold! I am making strong the heart of the Egyptians. And they will go after them. And I will be honored through Pharaoh and through his armies, through his chariots, and through his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am YAHUVEH, in My being honored through Pharaoh, through his chariots, and through his horsemen.
19 And the Messenger of Elohim withdrew, the One going before the camp of Israel. And He went behind them. And the pillar of cloud withdrew from before them, and it stood behind them.
20 And it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. And it was cloudy and dark. And it lit up the night; and this one did not come near to that one all night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and YAHUVEH caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night. And He made the sea dry land, and the waters divided.
22 And the sons of Israel came into the middle of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them from their right and from their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and all the horses of Pharaoh came after them, his chariots and his horsemen, into the middle of the sea.
24 And it happened in the morning watch: YAHUVEH looked on the camp of the Egyptians in the pillar of fire and cloud. And He confused the camp of the Egyptians.
25 And He took off the wheels of their chariots, and made them drive with difficulty. And the Egyptians said, I will flee from the face of Israel, for YAHUVEH is fighting for them against the Egyptians.
26 And YAHUVEH said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, and let the waters return on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its usual flow, at the turning of the morning, and the Egyptians were fleeing to meet it. And YAHUVEH shook off the Egyptians into the middle of the sea.
28 And the waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, together with all the army of Pharaoh, those going after them, into the sea. And not even one was left among them.
29 And the sons of Israel walked on dry ground in the middle of the sea, the waters being a wall for them, from their right and from their left.
30 And YAHUVEH saved Israel in that day from the hand of Egypt. And Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
31 And Israel saw the great hand with which YAHUVEH worked against Egypt. And the people feared YAHUVEH, and they believed in YAHUVEH and in His servant Moses.

*~Chapter 15~*

1 Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to YAHUVEH, and spoke, saying, I will sing to YAHUVEH, for He is highly exalted. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea. (Ps 106:12)
2 My strength and song is Yah, and He was to me salvation; this is my Eli and I will glorify Him; the Elohe of my father, and I will exalt Him.
3 YAHUVEH is a Man of war; YAHUVEH is His name. (Ex 3:15)
4 He has cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army in the sea; and the choice ones of his officers are drowned in the Sea of Reeds,
5 the depths cover them; they have dropped into the depths like a stone.
6 Your right hand, O YAHUVEH, is glorious in power; O YAHUVEH, Your right hand dashes the enemy to pieces.
7 And in Your majesty's greatness You pull down those rising up against You; You send forth Your wrath; it consumes them like stubble.
8 And by the spirit of Your anger waters were heaped up; the running waters stood like a wall; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be filled with them; I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.
10 You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in mighty waters.
11 Who is like You among the Elohim, O YAHUVEH? Who is like You, glorified in holiness, fearful in praises, O Worker of wonders?
12 You stretched Your right hand; the earth swallowed them.
13 In Your mercy You led the people whom You redeemed; You guided in Your strength to Your holy dwelling.
14 Peoples heard; they tremble; trembling seized the dwellers of Philistia.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom were terrified; the leaders of Moab were seized by trembling; all the dwellers of Canaan were melted.
16 Terrors and dread fell on them; by the greatness of Your arm; they are silent as a stone, until Your people pass through, O YAHUVEH, until pass through the people whom You have bought.
17 You shall bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, the place You have made for Your dwelling place, O YAHUVEH; the sanctuary which Your hands have prepared, O YAHUVEH.
18 YAHUVEH reigns forever and ever!
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and YAHUVEH brought back the waters of the sea on them; and the sons of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
20 And the sister of Aaron, Miriam the prophetess, took the timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21 And Miriam answered to them, Sing to YAHUVEH, for triumphing He has triumphed gloriously; He has thrown the horse and its rider into the sea.
22 And Moses made Israel to pull out from the Sea of Reeds. And they went out into the wilderness of Shur. And they went into the wilderness three days, and did not find water.
23 And they came to Marah. And they were not able to drink water from Marah, for it was bitter. Therefore, one called its name Marah.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 And he cried to YAHUVEH, and YAHUVEH showed him a tree. And he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. He made a statute and an ordinance for them there, and He tested them there.
26 And He said, If you carefully listen to the voice of YAHUVEH your Elohim, and do what is right in His eyes, and you give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will not put on you all the diseases which I have put on Egypt; for I am YAHUVEH Rapha.
