1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
and to speak: speak LORD to(wards) Moses to/for to say
2 “Tell the Israeli people to turn around and go back and set up their tents in front of Pi-Hahiroth [town]. That town is between Migdol and the sea, across from Baal-Zephon [town]. Set up your tents there, close to the sea.
to speak: speak to(wards) son: descendant/people Israel and to return: return and to camp to/for face: before Pi-hahiroth Pi-hahiroth between Migdol and between [the] sea to/for face: before Baal-zephon Baal-zephon before him to camp upon [the] sea
3 When the king [knows you have done that], he will think, ‘The Israeli people are confused. They are wandering around, and the desert blocks their path.’
and to say Pharaoh to/for son: descendant/people Israel to perplex they(masc.) in/on/with land: country/planet to shut upon them [the] wilderness
4 But I will make the king stubborn [again], and he will [take his army and] pursue you. Then my people will praise/thank me for winning a victory over the king and his army. And the Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” So [Moses/I told my people that, and] they did what he/I told them to do.
and to strengthen: strengthen [obj] heart Pharaoh and to pursue after them and to honor: honour in/on/with Pharaoh and in/on/with all strength: soldiers his and to know Egyptian for I LORD and to make: do so
5 When someone told the king that the Israeli people had left [during the night], he and his officials changed their minds and said, “(What have we done?/What we have done was stupid!) [RHQ] The Israeli people will no longer be our slaves!”
and to tell to/for king Egypt for to flee [the] people and to overturn heart Pharaoh and servant/slave his to(wards) [the] people and to say what? this to make: do for to send: let go [obj] Israel from to serve us
6 So the king got his chariot and his army ready.
and to bind [obj] chariot his and [obj] people: soldiers his to take: take with him
7 Then he selected 600 of the best chariots, and in each chariot he placed a driver, a soldier, and a commander, and they left. Other chariots, with a driver and a soldier in each of them, also went along.
and to take: take six hundred chariot to choose and all chariot Egypt and officer upon all his
8 Because Yahweh made the king of Egypt so stubborn that he and his army went to pursue the Israelis, who were leaving triumphantly,
and to strengthen: strengthen LORD [obj] heart Pharaoh king Egypt and to pursue after son: descendant/people Israel and son: descendant/people Israel to come out: come in/on/with hand to exalt
9 the Egyptian army, with all the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen, pursued the Israelis. They caught up with them as they were camped near the sea, close to Pi-Hahiroth, in front of Baal-Zephon [town].
and to pursue Egyptian after them and to overtake [obj] them to camp upon [the] sea all horse chariot Pharaoh and horseman his and strength: soldiers his upon Pi-hahiroth Pi-hahiroth to/for face: before Baal-zephon Baal-zephon
10 When the king’s army got near, the Israeli people were surprised to see that the Egyptians were marching toward them. They were terrified; so they cried out to Yahweh [to help them].
and Pharaoh to present: come and to lift: look son: descendant/people Israel [obj] eye their and behold Egyptian to set out after them and to fear much and to cry son: descendant/people Israel to(wards) LORD
11 Then they said to Moses/me, “Is it because there were no places in Egypt [where we could] be buried that you have brought us here to die in this desert [RHQ]? Look what you have done to us by bringing us out of Egypt [RHQ]!
and to say to(wards) Moses from without nothing grave in/on/with Egypt to take: take us to/for to die in/on/with wilderness what? this to make: do to/for us to/for to come out: send us from Egypt
12 That is what we told you when we were in Egypt! We said, ‘Leave us alone, and let us work for the Egyptians [RHQ]!’ It would have been better for us to be slaves for the Egyptians than to die here in the desert!”
not this [the] word: thing which to speak: speak to(wards) you in/on/with Egypt to/for to say to cease from us and to serve [obj] Egyptian for pleasant to/for us to serve [obj] Egyptian from to die we in/on/with wilderness
13 Moses/I replied to the people, “Do not be afraid! Be brave, and see how Yahweh will rescue you! He will save you today, and the result will be that the Egyptians that you are looking at today—you will never see them again!
and to say Moses to(wards) [the] people not to fear to stand and to see: see [obj] salvation LORD which to make: do to/for you [the] day for which to see: see [obj] Egyptian [the] day not to add: again to/for to see: see them still till forever: enduring
14 Yahweh will fight for you! Just keep quiet. There is nothing else that you will have to do.”
LORD to fight to/for you and you(m. p.) be quiet [emph?]
15 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the people to stop crying out for me [to help them], and tell them to go forward. Lift up your stick and stretch it out toward the sea. The water will divide, so that all you Israeli people can go in the middle of the sea, walking on dry ground.
and to say LORD to(wards) Moses what? to cry to(wards) me to speak: speak to(wards) son: descendant/people Israel and to set out
and you(m. s.) to exalt [obj] tribe: rod your and to stretch [obj] hand your upon [the] sea and to break up/open him and to come (in): come son: descendant/people Israel in/on/with midst [the] sea in/on/with dry land
17 I will make the Egyptians stubborn, so that they will try to follow you. And then as a result of [what I will do to the] king and his army and his chariots and his horsemen, [my people] will praise/thank me.
and I look! I to strengthen: strengthen [obj] heart Egyptian and to come (in): come after them and to honor: honour in/on/with Pharaoh and in/on/with all strength: soldiers his in/on/with chariot his and in/on/with horseman his
18 And when I have won a glorious [victory] over the king and his chariots and his horsemen, the [other] Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
and to know Egyptian for I LORD in/on/with to honor: honour I in/on/with Pharaoh in/on/with chariot his and in/on/with horseman his
19 Then the angel of God, who had been in front of the Israeli people, moved and went behind them. The tall bright cloud that had been in front of them also moved behind them,
and to set out messenger: angel [the] God [the] to go: went to/for face: before camp Israel and to go: went from after them and to set out pillar [the] cloud from face: before their and to stand: stand from after them
20 until it was between the Egyptian army and the Israeli people. The cloud caused the Egyptian army to be in the dark but it gave light for the Israelis. As a result, neither group could come near the other group during the whole night.
and to come (in): come between camp Egypt and between camp Israel and to be [the] cloud and [the] darkness and to light [obj] [the] night and not to present: come this to(wards) this all [the] night
21 [That evening], Moses/I stretched out his/my hand toward the sea. Then Yahweh sent a strong wind from the east. It blew all night and pushed the water apart, and it caused the ground between the water to dry up.
and to stretch Moses [obj] hand his upon [the] sea and to go: send LORD [obj] [the] sea in/on/with spirit: breath east strong all [the] night and to set: make [obj] [the] sea to/for dry ground and to break up/open [the] water
22 Then we Israeli people went on the dry land in the middle of the sea. The water was like a wall on each side of us, on the right side and on the left side.
and to come (in): come son: descendant/people Israel in/on/with midst [the] sea in/on/with dry land and [the] water to/for them wall from right their and from left their
23 Then the Egyptian army pursued them, and went after them into the middle of the sea, with their horses and their chariots and the chariot-drivers.
and to pursue Egyptian and to come (in): come after them all horse Pharaoh chariot his and horseman his to(wards) midst [the] sea
24 Just before dawn, Yahweh looked down from the fiery cloud, and then he caused the Egyptian army to panic.
and to be in/on/with watch [the] morning and to look LORD to(wards) camp Egyptian in/on/with pillar fire and cloud and to confuse [obj] camp Egyptian
25 He caused the wheels of the chariots to get stuck [in the mud], so that they could hardly move. So the Egyptians said, “Yahweh is fighting for the Israelis and against us; let’s get out of here!”
and to turn aside: turn aside [obj] wheel chariot his and to lead him in/on/with heaviness and to say Egypt to flee from face: before Israel for LORD to fight to/for them (in/on/with Egypt *LB(ha)*)
26 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Stretch out your arm toward the sea again. Then the water will come back on the Egyptians and on their chariots and their horsemen.”
and to say LORD to(wards) Moses to stretch [obj] hand your upon [the] sea and to return: return [the] water upon Egypt upon chariot his and upon horseman his
27 So Moses/I stretched out his/my arm, and as the sun was rising, the water returned to its normal level. The Egyptians tried to escape, but Yahweh hurled them back into the sea.
and to stretch Moses [obj] hand his upon [the] sea and to return: return [the] sea to/for to turn morning to/for strong his and Egypt to flee to/for to encounter: toward him and to shake LORD [obj] Egypt in/on/with midst [the] sea
28 The water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen and the whole Egyptian army that had tried to follow us Israelis into the sea. Every one of the Egyptians drowned.
and to return: return [the] water and to cover [obj] [the] chariot and [obj] [the] horseman to/for all strength: soldiers Pharaoh [the] to come (in): come after them in/on/with sea not to remain in/on/with them till one
29 But we Israeli people had already crossed through the sea by walking on dry ground, with the water being [like two] walls, one on the right side and one on the left side.
and son: descendant/people Israel to go: walk in/on/with dry land in/on/with midst [the] sea and [the] water to/for them wall from right their (and from left their *LB(ah)*)
30 That is the way Yahweh saved the Israeli people from the Egyptian army on that day. The Israeli people saw the Egyptians lying dead, [with their bodies washed up] on the shore.
and to save LORD in/on/with day [the] he/she/it [obj] Israel from hand: power Egypt and to see: see Israel [obj] Egypt to die upon lip: shore [the] sea
31 The Israelis saw what Yahweh did to the Egyptians by his great power [MTY], and they were in awe of Yahweh. They trusted in Yahweh and they also trusted Moses/me.
and to see: see Israel [obj] [the] hand: power [the] great: large which to make: do LORD in/on/with Egypt and to fear: revere [the] people [obj] LORD and be faithful in/on/with LORD and in/on/with Moses servant/slave his
