Exodus 14:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ Then I will cause Pharaoh's mind to become hard again. He will go to catch the Israelites. I will show how great I am when I win against Pharaoh and his whole army. Because of this, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.’

The Israelites did what God said.

⁵ Someone told the king of Egypt that the Israelites had run away. Then Pharaoh and his officers changed their minds about the Israelites. They said, ‘We have done a foolish thing. We have let the Israelites go. We have lost our slaves!’

⁶ So Pharaoh prepared his chariot and he took his army with him.
