Adonoy spoke to Moshe saying:

“Speak to the B’nei Yisrael and have them turn back and camp before Pi haChiros, between Migdol and the sea, facing Ba’al Tzephon. Camp opposite it, near the sea.”

Pharaoh will then say of the B’nei Yisrael, “They are confused in the land, the desert has shut [trapped] them in.

I will harden Pharaoh’s heart and he will pursue them. and I will be glorified through Pharaoh and his entire army. Egypt will [then] know that I am Adonoy.” They [the B’nei Yisrael] did just that.

The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled [gone]. Pharaoh and his servants had a change of heart regarding the people, and they said, “What have we done? [How did] we release Israel from serving us?

He [Pharaoh] harnessed his chariot and he took his people with him.

He took six hundred elite chariots [and crews], and all the [other] chariots of Egypt, and commanders [mighty men were appointed] over all of them.

Adonoy hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he pursued the B’nei Yisrael. The B’nei Yisrael went out high handedly [in triumph] [publicly].

The Egyptians pursued them and overtook them as they were encamped by the sea. There were all Pharaoh’s chariot horses, his cavalry and his army [infantry], at Pi haChiros, facing Ba’al Tzephon.

Pharaoh drew near, and the B’nei Yisrael looked up, and beheld the Egyptians coming after them. They were very frightened, and the B’nei Yisrael cried out to [before] Adonoy.

They said to Moshe, “Were there not enough graves in Egypt that you took us out to die in the desert? What have you done to us, bringing us out of Egypt?

This is the [exact] thing that we told you in Egypt saying, ‘Leave us alone and let us serve the Egyptians.’ It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than we should die in the desert.”

Moshe said to the people, “Do not be afraid, stand firm and you will see the deliverance of Adonoy, which He will perform for you this day, for the Egyptians you have seen this day you will never again see them, even to eternity.

Adonoy will fight [the war] for you, and you [must] remain silent.

Adonoy said to Moshe, “Why do you cry to Me? [I have accepted your prayer.] Speak to the B’nei Yisrael and let them move on.

And you [do as follows], raise your staff and extend your hand over the sea and split it. The B’nei Yisrael will then come [across] in the midst of the sea on dry land.

I will harden the heart of the Egyptians and they will follow after them. I will be glorified through Pharaoh and his entire army, his chariots and his cavalry.

The Egyptians will know that I am Adonoy when I am glorified through Pharaoh, his chariots and cavalry.

The angel of Elohim moved [from its position] when it traveled in front of the camp of Israel, and went behind them. The pillar of cloud moved from in front of them and it stood behind them.

It came between the Egyptian camp and the camp of Yisrael. There was the cloud and darkness [for the Egyptians] and [the pillar of fire] lit up the night [for Yisrael]. The camps did not approach each other all that night.

Moshe extended his hand over the sea and Adonoy turned back the sea with a strong east wind [blowing] all through the night. He made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.

The B’nei Yisrael went into the midst of the sea on dry land. The waters were like a wall [walls] to them, to their right and to their left.

The Egyptians pursued and followed them—all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots and his cavalry—into the middle of the sea.

It was the morning watch [the end of the night] Adonoy gazed down at the Egyptians camp through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He caused panic in the Egyptian camp.

He removed the wheels of their chariots and made them move heavily [clumsily]. The Egyptians said, “Let us flee the [B’nei] Yisrael, for [this is the might of] Adonoy [that] is fighting [wars] for them against Egypt.”

Adonoy said to Moshe, “Extend your hand over the sea, and the water will come back over the Egyptians, [over] their chariots and their cavalry.”

Moshe extended his hand over the sea, and, toward morning, the sea returned to its strength while the Egyptians were fleeing toward it. Adonoy overturned [stirred] the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

The waters returned and covered the chariots, and the cavalry, including Pharaoh’s entire army which had followed them into the sea. Not one of them remained [alive].

The B’nei Yisrael walked on dry land in the midst of the sea. For them the waters were a wall [walls] to their right and to their left.

On that day Adonoy delivered [B’nei] Yisrael from the hand of Egypt. [B’nei] Yisrael saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

[B’nei] Yisrael saw the [might of the] great hand which Adonoy wielded against Egypt. The people feared [from before] Adonoy, and believed in [the Word of] Adonoy and [that] [in the prophecy of] Moshe [was] His servant.
