Exodus 14:1-15
Then the Lord gave these instructions to Moses:“ Order the Israelites to turn back and camp by Pi hahiroth between Migdol and the sea. Camp there along the shore, across from Baal zephon.Then Pharaoh will think,‘ The Israelites are confused. They are trapped in the wilderness!’And once again I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will chase after you. I have planned this in order to display my glory through Pharaoh and his whole army. After this the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord!” So the Israelites camped there as they were told.When word reached the king of Egypt that the Israelites had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds.“ What have we done, letting all those Israelite slaves get away?” they asked.So Pharaoh harnessed his chariot and called up his troops.He took with him 600 of Egypt’s best chariots, along with the rest of the chariots of Egypt, each with its commander.The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, so he chased after the people of Israel, who had left with fists raised in defiance.The Egyptians chased after them with all the forces in Pharaoh’s army— all his horses and chariots, his charioteers, and his troops. The Egyptians caught up with the people of Israel as they were camped beside the shore near Pi hahiroth, across from Baal zephon.As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them. They cried out to the Lord,and they said to Moses,“ Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness? Weren’t there enough graves for us in Egypt? What have you done to us? Why did you make us leave Egypt?Didn’t we tell you this would happen while we were still in Egypt? We said,‘ Leave us alone! Let us be slaves to the Egyptians. It’s better to be a slave in Egypt than a corpse in the wilderness!’”But Moses told the people,“ Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again.The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving!

By your strong arm, you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. InterludeWhen the Red Sea saw you, O God, its waters looked and trembled!

The earth trembled and shook.Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters— a pathway no one knew was there!You led your people along that road like a flock of sheep, with Moses and Aaron as their shepherds.
