Exodus 14:19-25
English Standard Version
19 (A)Then the angel of God who was going before the host of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them, 20 coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness. And it lit up the night[a] without one coming near the other all night.
21 Then Moses (B)stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by (C)a strong east wind all night and (D)made the sea dry land, and the waters were (E)divided. 22 And (F)the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being (G)a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 And in the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic, 25 clogging[b] their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the (H)Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”
