Exodus 14:24-15:2
English Standard Version
Exodus 14:24-15:2
English Standard Version
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[a] their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the (A)Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, (B)“Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.” 27 (C)So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea (D)returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the Lord (E)threw[b] the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. 28 The (F)waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, (G)not one of them remained. 29 But the (H)people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Thus the Lord (I)saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 (J)Israel saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the Lord, and they (K)believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.
The Song of Moses
15 Then Moses and the people of Israel (L)sang this song to the Lord, saying,
(M)“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider[c] he has thrown into the sea.
2 (N)The Lord is my strength and my (O)song,
and he has become (P)my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
(Q)my father's God, and (R)I will exalt him.

New International Version
Exodus 14:24-15:2
New International Version
24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud(A) at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.(B) 25 He jammed[a] the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting(C) for them against Egypt.”(D)
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” 27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place.(E) The Egyptians were fleeing toward[b] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.(F) 28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.(G) Not one of them survived.(H)
29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,(I) with a wall(J) of water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved(K) Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore. 31 And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand(L) of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared(M) the Lord and put their trust(N) in him and in Moses his servant.
