¹⁰ Now Pharaoh drew near, and the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they became very afraid; ^(A)so the sons of Israel cried out to Yahweh. ¹¹ Then ^(B)they said to Moses, “Is it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What is this you have done against us in ^[a]bringing us out of Egypt? ^12 (C)Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘^[b]Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than for us to die in the wilderness.” ¹³ But Moses said to the people, “^(D)Do not fear! ^[c]Stand by and see ^(E)the salvation of Yahweh which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever. ^14 (F)Yahweh will fight for you, and ^(G)you will keep silent.”

³¹ Then Israel saw the great hand which Yahweh had ^[a]used against the Egyptians; and the people ^[b]feared Yahweh, and ^(A)they believed in Yahweh and in His servant Moses.
