Old/New Testament
14 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, so that they return and camp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, and before Baal Zephon. You shall camp in front of it, by the sea.
3 “For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are aimless in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
4 “And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he shall follow after you. So, I will gain honor over Pharaoh, and upon all his army. Also, the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.” And they did so.
5 Then, the king of Egypt was told 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, and have let Israel go out of our service?”
6 And he prepared his chariots and took his people with him,
7 and took six hundred chosen chariots and all the chariots of Egypt and captains over every one of them.
8 (For the LORD had hardened the heart of Pharaoh, King of Egypt, and he followed after the children of Israel. But the children of Israel went out with boldness).
9 And the Egyptians and all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh pursued after them. And his horsemen and his army overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes. And behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were very afraid. Therefore, the children of Israel cried to the LORD.
11 And they said to Moses, “Have you brought us to die in the wilderness, because there were no graves in Egypt? Why have you served us like this, to carry us out of Egypt?
12 “Did we not tell you this thing in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone, so that we may serve the Egyptians?’ For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Then Moses said to the people, “Do not fear. Stand still, and behold the salvation of the LORD, which He will show to you this day. For the Egyptians, whom you have seen this day, you shall never see again.
14 “The LORD shall fight for you. Therefore, hold your peace.”
15 And the LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, so that they go forward.
16 “And lift up your rod and stretch out your hand upon the sea and divide it; and let the children of Israel go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 “And I, behold, I will harden the heart of the Egyptians, so that they may follow them. And I will gain honor from Pharaoh, and from all his army, from his chariots, and from his horsemen.
18 “Then, the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gained honor from Pharaoh, from his chariots, and from his horsemen.”
19 And the Angel of God, who went before the host of Israel, moved and went behind them. Also, the pillar of the cloud went from preceding them to standing behind them,
20 and came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. It was both a cloud and darkness, yet it gave light by night, so that one did not come near the other, all night long.
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.
15 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying, “I will sing to the LORD. For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse, and he who rode upon him, He has overthrown in the sea!
2 “The LORD is my strength and praise; and He has become my salvation. He is my God; and I will prepare a tabernacle for Him. He is my father’s God; and I will exalt Him.
3 “The LORD is a man of war. His Name is Jehovah.
4 “He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea. His chosen captains were also drowned in the Red Sea.
5 “The depths have covered them. They sank to the bottom, as a stone.
6 “Your right hand, O LORD, is glorious in power. Your right hand, O LORD, has bruised the enemy.
7 “And in Your great Glory You have overthrown those who rose against You. You sent forth Your wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 “And by the blast of Your nostrils the waters were gathered. The floods stood still as a heap. The depths congealed together in the heart of the sea.
9 “The enemy said, ‘I will pursue! I will overtake them! I will divide the spoil! My lust shall be satisfied by them. I will draw my sword. My hand shall destroy them!’
10 “You blew with Your wind. The sea covered them; they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 “Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods! Who is like You—glorious in holiness, fearful in praises—doing wonders!
12 “You stretched out Your right hand. The Earth swallowed them.
13 “You will, by Your mercy, carry this people whom You delivered. In Your strength, You will bring them to Your holy habitation.
14 “The people shall hear and be afraid. Sorrow shall come upon the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 “Then the princes of Edom shall be amazed; and trembling shall come upon the great men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan shall grow faint- hearted.
16 “Fear and dread shall fall upon them. Because of the greatness of Your arm, they shall be still as a stone until Your people pass, O LORD, until this people pass whom You have purchased.
17 “You shall bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance, O LORD. You have prepared the dwelling place, O LORD, the sanctuary Your hands shall establish.
18 “The LORD shall reign forever and ever!”
19 For Pharaoh’s horses went, with his chariots and horsemen, into the sea; and the LORD brought the waters of the sea upon them. But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
20 And Miriam the Prophetess, sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women came out after her, with timbrels and dances.
21 And Miriam answered the men, “Sing to the LORD! For He has triumphed gloriously! He has overthrown the horse and his rider in the sea!”
22 Then Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.
23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink from the water of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore, the name of the place was called “Marah”.
24 Then the people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
25 And he cried to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast into the waters, the waters became sweet. There He made an ordinance and a law to them; and there He tested them,
26 and said, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD, Your God, and will do that which is right in His sight, and will hear His Commandments, and keep all His Ordinances, then I will bring none of these diseases upon you which I brought upon the Egyptians. For I am the LORD Who heals you.”
27 And they came to Elim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there by the waters.
17 And after six days, Jesus took Peter and James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain, alone.
2 And He was transfigured before them. And His face shined as the Sun. And His clothes were as white as the light.
3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with Him.
4 Then Peter answered, and said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. If You would, let us make three booths here; one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 “While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased. Hear Him.”
6 And when the disciples heard that, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
7 Then Jesus came and touched them, and said, “Arise. And do not be afraid.”
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, “Tell no one of this vision until the Son of Man has risen again from the dead.”
10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Why, then, do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 And Jesus answered, and said to them, “Certainly Elijah must come first, and restore all things.
12 “But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him. But they have done to him whatever they would. Likewise, the Son of Man shall also suffer by them.”
13 Then the disciples perceived that He spoke to them of John Baptist.
14 And when they had come to the multitude, a certain man came to Him and fell down at His feet,
15 and said, “Master, have pity on my son. For he is lunatic and suffers greatly. For he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16 “And I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not heal him.”
17 Then Jesus answered, and said, “O faithless and crooked generation. How long now shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.”
18 And Jesus rebuked the demon. And he went out of him. And the child was healed at that hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why could not we cast it out?”
20 And Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if you have faith as much as is a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it shall move. And nothing shall be impossible to you.
21 “Nevertheless, this kind only comes out by prayer and fasting.”
22 And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
23 “And they shall kill Him. But the third day He shall rise again.” And they were very sorrowful.
24 And when they had come to Capernaum, those who received the temple tax came to Peter, and said, “Does not your Master pay temple taxes?
25 He said, “Yes.” And when he had come into the house, Jesus stopped him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the Earth take tribute (or temple taxes) - from their children, or from strangers?
26 Peter said to Him, “From strangers.” Then Jesus said to him, “Then the children are free.”
27 Nevertheless, so that we should not offend them, go to the sea and cast in a hook. And take the first fish that comes up. And when you have opened its mouth, you shall find a coin. Take it, and give it to them for you and Me.
