eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out
of Egypt.
[10] Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
[11] And it shall
be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy
fathers, and shall give it thee,
[12] That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix,
and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD's.
[13] And every
firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break
his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
[14] And it shall be when
thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength
of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
[15] And it came to pass,
when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the
firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix,
being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
[16] And it shall be for a token upon thine hand,
and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
[17]
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of
the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent
when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
[18] But God led the people about, through the way of the
wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
[19]
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying,
God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
[20] And they took their
journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
[21] And the LORD went
before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give
them light; to go by day and night:
[22] He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of
fire by night, from before the people.
Exod.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
