La orden del Señor a Moisés
14 El Señor le ordenó a Moisés: 2 «Diles a los israelitas que den la vuelta hacia Pi Ajirot, entre Migdol y el mar, frente a Baal Zefón, y que acampen allí junto al mar. 3 El faraón pensará: “Los israelitas están allí atrapados entre el mar y el desierto”. 4 Y una vez más endureceré el corazón del faraón, y él los perseguirá. Lo hago así para mostrarle mi poder al faraón y a todo su ejército. Entonces todos los egipcios sabrán que yo soy el Señor».
Los israelitas acamparon donde el Señor les había dicho. 5 Cuando el faraón y sus hombres se dieron cuenta de que los israelitas se habían escapado, cambiaron de parecer, y dijeron: «¿Cómo hemos dejado que estos esclavos se nos vayan? ¿Quién va a hacer el trabajo que ellos hacían? ¿Por qué hemos sido tan torpes?».
6 Sin pérdida de tiempo, el faraón salió en su carro de guerra para perseguir al pueblo de Israel, 7 seguido por todos los carros de guerra de Egipto, seiscientos en total, y otros más conducidos por los oficiales egipcios. 8 Lo hizo porque el Señor le había endurecido el corazón. Así que salió en persecución de Israel, el cual marchaba firme y confiado en la victoria. 9 Todo el ejército del faraón, compuesto por caballos, carros de guerra, jinetes y las tropas de a pie, salió en persecución de los israelitas. Y los alcanzaron cerca de Pi Ajirot, frente a Baal Zefón, junto al mar, donde estaban acampando.
10 Cuando los israelitas vieron que a lo lejos venía el ejército egipcio en su persecución, tuvieron mucho miedo, y clamaron al Señor en busca de ayuda. 11 Luego se volvieron contra Moisés, diciéndole: «¿Nos has traído para que muramos en el desierto? ¿Acaso no había suficientes tumbas en Egipto para enterrarnos? ¿Por qué nos hiciste salir de Egipto? 12 Cuando éramos esclavos, ¿no te dijimos que mejor nos dejaras tranquilos, que era mucho mejor ser esclavos de los egipcios que morir en el desierto?».
13 Pero Moisés le dijo al pueblo: «No teman, quédense donde están y observen la forma maravillosa en que el Señor los salvará en este día. Los egipcios que hoy ven, no los volverán a ver nunca más. 14 El Señor peleará por ustedes, de modo que ustedes no tendrán que levantar ni un solo dedo».
15 El Señor le dijo a Moisés: «¿Por qué clamas a mí? ¡Dile al pueblo que siga adelante! 16 Extiende tu vara sobre las aguas, y el mar abrirá un sendero delante de ti, y todo el pueblo de Israel podrá cruzarlo como en tierra seca. 17 Yo he endurecido el corazón de los egipcios, y ellos los seguirán, y verán cómo honro mi nombre derrotando al faraón, con todos sus ejércitos, sus carros y sus caballos. 18 ¡Todo Egipto sabrá que yo soy el Señor!».
19 El ángel del Señor, que estaba guiando al pueblo de Israel, se puso detrás de todos. También la columna de nube se colocó detrás del pueblo, 20 y se interpuso entre el pueblo de Israel y los egipcios. Y aquella noche, al convertirse en columna de fuego, dio oscuridad a los egipcios e iluminó al pueblo de Israel. ¡Los egipcios no pudieron alcanzar a los israelitas!
21 Mientras tanto, Moisés extendió su vara sobre el mar, y el Señor abrió un sendero a través del mar, con muros de agua a cada lado. Un gran viento del oriente sopló toda la noche y secó el fondo del mar. 22 ¡El pueblo de Israel caminó a través del mar por tierra seca! 23 Los egipcios los siguieron por entre los dos muros de agua a lo largo del fondo del mar, con todos los caballos, carros y jinetes del faraón. 24 Pero en la mañana, el Señor miró desde la nube de fuego a los egipcios, y trastornó su campamento. 25 Las ruedas de sus carros de guerra se atascaron, de modo que avanzaban muy lentamente. Entonces los egipcios gritaron: «¡Salgamos de aquí, porque el Señor está peleando por ellos contra nosotros!».
26 Cuando todos los israelitas pasaron, el Señor le dijo a Moisés: «Extiende tu vara sobre el mar, para que las aguas regresen y caigan sobre los egipcios, sobre sus carros y sus jinetes».
27 Moisés lo hizo así y, al amanecer, el mar regresó a su posición normal. Los egipcios trataron de huir, pero el Señor los hizo ahogar en el mar. 28 El agua cubrió el sendero, y a los caballos y sus jinetes. Y todo el ejército del faraón, que perseguía a Israel a través del mar, pereció. 29 En cambio, el pueblo de Israel cruzó el mar por tierra seca, pues las aguas habían formado muros a ambos lados de ellos.
30 Así salvó el Señor a los israelitas aquel día. El pueblo de Israel vio a los egipcios muertos a la orilla del mar. 31 Cuando los israelitas vieron el gran milagro que el Señor había hecho por ellos contra los egipcios, temieron al Señor, y creyeron en él y en su siervo Moisés.
Exodus 14
King James Version
Exodus 14
King James Version
14 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord.
11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31 And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses.
Exodus 14
New International Version
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) 3 Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ 4 And 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.
5 When 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!” 6 So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him. 7 He took six hundred of the best chariots,(I) along with all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them. 8 The Lord hardened the heart(J) of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly.(K) 9 The 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)
10 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried(P) out to the Lord. 11 They 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? 12 Didn’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)
13 Moses 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. 14 The Lord will fight(V) for you; you need only to be still.”(W)
15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me?(X) Tell the Israelites to move on. 16 Raise 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. 17 I 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. 18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord(AC) when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”
19 Then 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, 20 coming 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.
21 Then 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) 22 and the Israelites went through the sea(AM) on dry ground,(AN) with a wall(AO) of water on their right and on their left.
23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen(AP) followed them into the sea. 24 During 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) 25 He 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)
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.(AU) The Egyptians were fleeing toward[c] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.(AV) 28 The 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)
29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,(AY) with a wall(AZ) of water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved(BA) 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(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.
