Exodus 14:13-19

New International Version

¹³ Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid.^(A) Stand firm and you will see^(B) the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see^(C) again. ¹⁴ The Lord will fight^(D) for you; you need only to be still.”^(E)

¹⁵ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me?^(F) Tell the Israelites to move on. ¹⁶ Raise your staff^(G) and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water^(H) so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. ¹⁷ I will harden the hearts^(I) of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them.^(J) And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. ¹⁸ The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord^(K) when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”

¹⁹ Then the angel of God,^(L) who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud^(M) also moved from in front and stood behind^(N) them,
