Éxodo 14

Biblia del Jubileo

14 ¶ Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

²Habla a los hijos de Israel que den la vuelta, y asienten su campamento delante de Pi-hahirot, entre Migdol y el mar hacia Baal-zefón; delante de él asentaréis el campamento, junto al mar.

³Porque el Faraón dirá de los hijos de Israel: Enredados están en la tierra, el desierto los ha encerrado.

⁴Y yo endureceré el corazón del Faraón para que los siga; y seré glorificado en el Faraón y en todo su ejército; y sabrán los egipcios que yo soy el SEÑOR. Y ellos lo hicieron así.

⁵Y fue dado aviso al rey de Egipto cómo el pueblo huía; y el corazón del Faraón y de sus esclavos se volvió contra el pueblo, y dijeron: ¿Cómo hemos hecho esto de haber dejado ir a Israel, para que no nos sirva?

⁶Y unció su carro, y tomó consigo su pueblo;

⁷y tomó seiscientos carros escogidos, y todos los carros de Egipto, y los capitanes sobre ellos.

⁸Y endureció el SEÑOR el corazón del Faraón rey de Egipto, y siguió a los hijos de Israel; pero los hijos de Israel ya habían salido con gran poder.

⁹Siguiéndolos, pues, los egipcios, con toda la caballería y carros del Faraón, su gente de a caballo, y todo su ejército, los alcanzaron asentando el campo junto al mar, al lado de Pi-hahirot, delante de Baal-zefón.

¹⁰¶ Y cuando el Faraón llegó, los hijos de Israel alzaron sus ojos, y he aquí los egipcios que venían tras ellos; y temieron en gran manera, y clamaron los hijos de Israel al SEÑOR.

¹¹Y dijeron a Moisés: ¿No había sepulcros en Egipto, que nos has sacado para que muramos en el desierto? ¿Por qué lo has hecho así con nosotros, que nos has sacado de Egipto?

¹²¿No es esto lo que te hablamos en Egipto, diciendo: Déjanos servir a los egipcios? Que mejor nos fuera servir a los egipcios, que morir nosotros en el desierto.

¹³Y Moisés dijo al pueblo: No temáis; estaos quietos, y ved la salud del SEÑOR, que él hará hoy con vosotros; porque los egipcios que hoy habéis visto, nunca más para siempre los veréis.

¹⁴El SEÑOR peleará por vosotros, y vosotros estaréis quietos.

¹⁵¶ Entonces el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: ¿Por qué me das voces? Di a los hijos de Israel que marchen.

¹⁶Y tú alza tu vara, y extiende tu mano sobre el mar, y divídelo; y entren los hijos de Israel por en medio del mar en seco.

¹⁷Y he aquí, yo endureceré el corazón de los egipcios, para que los sigan: y yo me glorificaré en el Faraón, y en todo su ejército, y en sus carros, y en su caballería;

¹⁸y sabrán los egipcios que yo soy el SEÑOR, cuando me glorifique en el Faraón, en sus carros, y en su gente de a caballo.

¹⁹Y el ángel de Dios que iba delante del campamento de Israel, se apartó, e iba en pos de ellos; y asimismo la columna de nube que iba delante de ellos, se apartó, y se puso a sus espaldas.

²⁰E iba entre el campamento de los egipcios y el campamento de Israel; y era nube y tinieblas para aquellos, y alumbraba la noche a Israel; y en toda aquella noche nunca llegaron los unos a los otros.

²¹¶ Y extendió Moisés su mano sobre el mar, e hizo el SEÑOR que el mar se retirara por recio viento oriental toda aquella noche; y tornó el mar en seco, y las aguas quedaron divididas.

²²Entonces los hijos de Israel entraron por en medio del mar en seco, teniendo las aguas como muro a su diestra y a su siniestra.

²³Y siguiéndolos los egipcios, entraron tras ellos hasta el medio del mar, toda la caballería del Faraón, sus carros, y su gente de a caballo.

²⁴Y aconteció a la vela de la mañana, que el SEÑOR miró al campamento de los egipcios en la columna de fuego y nube, y alborotó el campamento de los egipcios.

²⁵Y les quitó las ruedas de sus carros, y los trastornó gravemente. Entonces los egipcios dijeron: Huyamos de delante de Israel, porque el SEÑOR pelea por ellos contra los egipcios.

²⁶Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Extiende tu mano sobre el mar, para que las aguas vuelvan sobre los egipcios, sobre sus carros, y sobre su caballería.

²⁷Y Moisés extendió su mano sobre el mar, y el mar se volvió en su fuerza cuando amanecía; y los egipcios huían hacia ella; y el SEÑOR derribó a los egipcios en medio del mar.

²⁸Y volvieron las aguas, y cubrieron los carros y la caballería, y todo el ejército del Faraón que había entrado tras ellos en el mar; no quedó de ellos ni uno.

²⁹Y los hijos de Israel fueron por medio del mar en seco, teniendo las aguas por muro a su diestra y a su siniestra.

³⁰Así salvó el SEÑOR aquel día a Israel de mano de los egipcios; e Israel vio a los egipcios muertos a la orilla del mar.

³¹Y vio Israel aquel grande hecho que el SEÑOR ejecutó contra los egipcios; y el pueblo temió al SEÑOR, y creyeron al SEÑOR y a Moisés su esclavo.

Exodus 14

New International Version

14 Then the Lord said to Moses, ²“Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol^(A) and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon.^(B) ³Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ ⁴And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart,^(C) and he will pursue them.^(D) But I will gain glory^(E) for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.”^(F) So the Israelites did this.

⁵When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled,^(G) Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds^(H) about them and said, “What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!” ⁶So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him. ⁷He took six hundred of the best chariots,^(I) along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them. ⁸The Lord hardened the heart^(J) of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly.^(K) ⁹The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses^(L) and chariots, horsemen^[a] and troops^(M)—pursued the Israelites and overtook^(N) them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon.^(O)

¹⁰As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried^(P) out to the Lord. ¹¹They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die?^(Q) What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? ¹²Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”^(R)

¹³Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid.^(S) Stand firm and you will see^(T) the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see^(U) again. ¹⁴The Lord will fight^(V) for you; you need only to be still.”^(W)

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

¹⁹Then the angel of God,^(AD) who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud^(AE) also moved from in front and stood behind^(AF) them, ²⁰coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness^(AG) to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.

²¹Then Moses stretched out his hand^(AH) over the sea,^(AI) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind^(AJ) and turned it into dry land.^(AK) The waters were divided,^(AL) ²²and the Israelites went through the sea^(AM) on dry ground,^(AN) with a wall^(AO) of water on their right and on their left.

²³The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen^(AP) followed them into the sea. ²⁴During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud^(AQ) at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.^(AR) ²⁵He jammed^[b] 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^(AS) for them against Egypt.”^(AT)

²⁶Then 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.” ²⁷Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place.^(AU) The Egyptians were fleeing toward^[c] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.^(AV) ²⁸The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.^(AW) Not one of them survived.^(AX)

²⁹But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,^(AY) with a wall^(AZ) of water on their right and on their left. ³⁰That day the Lord saved^(BA) Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore. ³¹And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand^(BB) of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared^(BC) the Lord and put their trust^(BD) in him and in Moses his servant.

World English Bible

14 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²“Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea. ³Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’ ⁴I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh.” They did so.

⁵The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?” ⁶He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him; ⁷and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them. ⁸Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.^[a] ⁹The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

¹⁰When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh. ¹¹They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt? ¹²Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”

¹³Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today. ¹⁴Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”

¹⁵Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward. ¹⁶Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground. ¹⁷Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen. ¹⁸The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.” ¹⁹The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them. ²⁰It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night. One didn’t come near the other all night.

²¹Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. ²²The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. ²³The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. ²⁴In the morning watch, Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army. ²⁵He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!”

²⁶Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” ²⁷Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea. ²⁸The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them. ²⁹But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. ³⁰Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. ³¹Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh and in his servant Moses.
