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.”

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.

5 Therefore, mortify those parts of your body which are of the Earth: fornication, impurity, depraved passions, lust, and covetousness (which is idolatry),
6 for the sake of which things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience;
7 and wherein also you once walked when you lived in them.
8 But now, however, take all these things out of your mouth also: anger, wrath, malice, slander, foul language.
9 Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds
10 and having put on the new (who is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him who created him).
11 There is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but all, and in all, is Christ.
