The Crossing of the Red Sea

1 Then Yahweh said to Moses, 

4 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them, so that I will gain glory for myself over Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh.” And they did so.

9 The Egyptians pursued them, all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, his chariot drivers and his army.

17  I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them, and so I will gain glory for myself over Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots, and his chariot drivers. 

18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have gained glory for myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his chariot drivers.”

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. Yahweh drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. 

22 The Israelites went into the sea on dry ground, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left. 

23 The Egyptians pursued and went into the sea after them, all of Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and chariot drivers.

26 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and chariot drivers.” 

27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, 

28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the chariot drivers, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea; not one of them remained. 

29 But the Israelites walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left.
