Exodus 14:21-31

Revised Geneva Translation

²¹ And Moses stretched forth his hand upon the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to recede by a strong east wind, all that night, and made the sea dry. For the waters were divided.

²² Then, the children of Israel went through the midst of the sea, upon the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left hand.

²³ And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

²⁴ Now, in the morning watch, the LORD looked upon the army of the Egyptians, and out of the fiery and cloudy pillar, He struck the army of the Egyptians with fear.

²⁵ For he turned aside their chariot wheels and they drove them with great difficulty, so that all the Egyptians said, “I will flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.”

²⁶ Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch your hand upon the sea, so that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and upon their horsemen.”

²⁷ Then Moses stretched forth his hand upon the sea, and the sea returned to full force early in the morning; and the Egyptians fled against it. But the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

²⁸ So, the water returned and covered the chariots. And of the horsemen, and of all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them, there remained not one of them.

²⁹ But the children of Israel walked upon dry land through the midst of the sea. And the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

³⁰ Thus, the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians that day. And Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore.

³¹ And Israel saw the mighty power which the LORD showed upon the Egyptians. So, the people feared the LORD and believed the LORD and his servant Moses.
