21 Then Moses stretched out his hand(A) over the sea,(B) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind(C) and turned it into dry land.(D) The waters were divided,(E) 22 and the Israelites went through the sea(F) on dry ground,(G) with a wall(H) of water on their right and on their left.

23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen(I) followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud(J) at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.(K) 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(L) for them against Egypt.”(M)

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.(N) The Egyptians were fleeing toward[b] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.(O) 28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.(P) Not one of them survived.(Q)

29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,(R) with a wall(S) of water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved(T) Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.

  2. Exodus 14:27 Or from

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.

21 (A)Then Moses reached out with his hand over the sea; and the Lord [a]swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into (B)dry land, and (C)the waters were divided. 22 So (D)the sons of Israel [b]went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and (E)the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left. 23 Then (F)the Egyptians took up the pursuit, and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea. 24 But at the morning watch, (G)the Lord looked down on the [c]army of the Egyptians [d]through the pillar of fire and cloud, and brought the [e]army of the Egyptians into confusion. 25 He [f]caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians each said, “Let me flee from Israel, (H)for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”

26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “(I)Reach out with your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.” 27 So Moses reached out with his hand over the sea, and (J)the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing [g]right into it; then the Lord [h](K)overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, Pharaoh’s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; (L)not even one of them remained. 29 But the sons of Israel walked on (M)dry land through the midst of the sea, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left.

30 (N)So the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel (O)saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

Paso del mar Rojo

21 Extendió Moisés su mano sobre el mar(A); y el Señor, por medio de un fuerte viento solano que sopló toda la noche, hizo que el mar retrocediera; y cambió el mar en tierra seca(B), y fueron divididas las aguas(C). 22 Y los hijos de Israel entraron por en medio del mar, en seco(D), y las aguas les eran como un muro a su derecha y a su izquierda(E). 23 Entonces los egipcios reanudaron la persecución, y entraron tras ellos en medio del mar todos los caballos de Faraón, sus carros y sus jinetes(F). 24 Y aconteció que a la vigilia de la mañana, el Señor miró el ejército[a] de los egipcios desde[b] la columna de fuego y de nube(G), y sembró la confusión en el ejército[c] de los egipcios. 25 Y entorpeció[d] las ruedas de sus carros, e hizo que avanzaran con dificultad. Entonces los egipcios dijeron: Huyamos ante Israel, porque el Señor pelea por ellos contra los egipcios(H).

Dios salva a su pueblo con poder

26 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: Extiende tu mano sobre el mar(I) para que las aguas vuelvan sobre los egipcios, sobre sus carros y su caballería. 27 Y extendió Moisés su mano sobre el mar, y al amanecer, regresó el mar a su estado normal(J), y los egipcios al huir se encontraban con él; así derribó el Señor a los egipcios en medio del mar(K). 28 Y las aguas volvieron y cubrieron los carros y la caballería, a todo el ejército de Faraón que había entrado tras ellos en el mar; no quedó ni uno de ellos(L). 29 Mas los hijos de Israel pasaron en seco por en medio del mar, y las aguas les eran como un muro a su derecha y a su izquierda(M). 30 Aquel día salvó el Señor a Israel de mano de los egipcios; e Israel vio a los egipcios muertos a la orilla del mar(N).
