Exodus 14
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Speak unto the children of
Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the
sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
[3] For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the
land, the wilderness hath shut them in. [4] And I will harden Pharaoh's heart,
that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon
all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
[5] And it was told the king of Egypt 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, that we have let Israel go from serving us? [6] And he made
ready his chariot, and took his people with him: [7] And he took six hundred
chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of
them. [8] And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he
pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with
an high hand.
[9] But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of
Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the
sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon. [10] And when Pharaoh drew nigh,
the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians
marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel
cried out unto the LORD. [11] And they said unto Moses, Because there were no
graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore
hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? [12] Is not this
the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may
serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians,
than that we should die in the wilderness. [13] And Moses said unto the
people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he
will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall
see them again no more for ever. [14] The LORD shall fight for you, and ye
shall hold your peace. [15] And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest
thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: [16]
But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide
it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the
sea.
[17] And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall
follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host,
upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. [18] And the Egyptians shall know
that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his
chariots, and upon his horsemen. [19] And the angel of God, which went before
the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud
went from before their face, and stood behind them:
[20] And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and
it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so
that the one came not near the other all the night. [21] And Moses stretched
out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong
east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were
divided.
[22] And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry
ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their
left.
[23] And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the
sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. [24] And it
came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the
Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host
of the Egyptians, [25] And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them
heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for
the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians. [26] And the LORD said unto
Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again
upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
[27] And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to
his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and
the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. [28] And the waters
returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of
Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one
of them. [29] But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of
the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on
their left.
[30] Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and
Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. [31] And Israel saw that
great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the
LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
Exodus 15
[1] Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and
spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously:
the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. [2] The LORD is my
strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will
prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
[3] The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. [4] Pharaoh's chariots and
his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in
the Red sea. [5] The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a
stone. [6] Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right
hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. [7] And in the greatness of
thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou
sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
[8] And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the
floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of
the sea.
[9] The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;
my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall
destroy them.
[10] Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in
the mighty waters.
[11] Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious
in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? [12] Thou stretchedst out thy
right hand, the earth swallowed them. [13] Thou in thy mercy hast led forth
the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength
unto thy holy habitation. [14] The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow
shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
[15] Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling
shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
[16] Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they
shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the
people pass over, which thou hast purchased. [17] Thou shalt bring them in,
and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD,
which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy
hands have established. [18] The LORD shall reign for ever and ever. [19] For
the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the
sea, and the LORD brought again 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, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the
women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. [21] And Miriam
answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the
horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. [22] So 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 of the waters of Marah,
for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. [24] And the
people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? [25] And he cried
unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the
waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an
ordinance, and there he proved them, [26] And said, If thou wilt diligently
hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in
his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I
will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the
Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
[27] And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore
and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
Exodus 16
[1] And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the
children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and
Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of
the land of Egypt.
[2] And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against
Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
[3] And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the
hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when
we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this
wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. [4] Then said the LORD
unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people
shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them,
whether they will walk in my law, or no. [5] And it shall come to pass, that
on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be
twice as much as they gather daily. [6] And Moses and Aaron said unto all the
children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you
out from the land of Egypt: [7] And in the morning, then ye shall see the
glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and
what are we, that ye murmur against us?
[8] And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening
flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth
your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings
are not against us, but against the LORD. [9] And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say
unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the
LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
[10] And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the
children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the
glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. [11] And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, [12] I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto
them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be
filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God. [13] And it
came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in
the morning the dew lay round about the host. [14] And when the dew that lay
was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round
thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
[15] And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is
manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the
bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. [16] This is the thing which the
LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer
for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for
them which are in his tents. [17] And the children of Israel did so, and
gathered, some more, some less. [18] And when they did mete it with an omer,
he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no
lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
[19] And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning. [20]
Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it
until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
[21] And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating:
and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. [22] And it came to pass, that on the
sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all
the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
[23] And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow
is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to
day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for
you to be kept until the morning. [24] And they laid it up till the morning,
as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. [25]
And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day
ye shall not find it in the field. [26] Six days ye shall gather it; but on
the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. [27] And it
came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to
gather, and they found none. [28] And the LORD said unto Moses, How long
refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
[29] See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth
you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place,
let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. [30] So the people rested
on the seventh day. [31] And the house of Israel called the name thereof
Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like
wafers made with honey. [32] And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD
commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may
see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you
forth from the land of Egypt.
[33] And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna
therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. [34]
As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be
kept.
[35] And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to
a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the
land of Canaan.
[36] Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Exodus 17
[1] And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the
wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the
LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
[2] Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we
may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye
tempt the LORD?
[3] And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against
Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt,
to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? [4] And Moses cried
unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready
to stone me.
[5] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee
of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take
in thine hand, and go.
[6] Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou
shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people
may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. [7] And he
called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of
the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD
among us, or not? [8] Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
[9] And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with
Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in
mine hand.
[10] So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and
Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. [11] And it came to
pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down
his hand, Amalek prevailed. [12] But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a
stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up
his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his
hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
[13] And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
[14] And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and
rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance
of Amalek from under heaven. [15] And Moses built an altar, and called the
name of it Jehovah-nissi: [16] For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that
the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
