Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22And 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. 23And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24And it came to pass in the morning watch, that the Lord looked forth upon the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians. 25And He took off their chariot wheels, and made them to drive heavily; so that the Egyptians said: 'Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.'

      26And the Lord said unto Moses: 'Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.' 27And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them. 29But 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. 30Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore. 31And Israel saw the great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared the Lord; and they believed in the Lord, and in His servant Moses.

       15Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spoke, saying:

      I will sing unto the Lord, for He is highly exalted;The horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.2The Lord is my strength and song,And He is become my salvation;This is my God, and I will glorify Him;My father's God, and I will exalt Him.3The Lord is a man of war,The Lord is His name.4Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath He cast into the sea,And his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.5The deeps cover them—They went down into the depths like a stone.6Thy right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,Thy right hand, O Lord, dasheth in pieces the enemy.7And in the greatness of Thine excellency Thou overthrowest them that rise up against Thee;Thou sendest forth Thy wrath, it consumeth them as stubble.8And with the blast of Thy nostrils the waters were piled up—The floods stood upright as a heap;The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.9The 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.'10Thou didst blow with Thy wind, the sea covered them;They sank as lead in the mighty waters.11Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the mighty?Who is like unto Thee, glorious in holiness,Fearful in praises, doing wonders?12Thou stretchedst out Thy right hand—The earth swallowed them.13Thou in Thy love hast led the people that Thou hast redeemed;Thou hast guided them in Thy strength to Thy holy habitation.14The peoples have heard, they tremble;Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.15Then were the chiefs of Edom affrighted;The mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold upon them;All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.16Terror and dread falleth upon them;By the greatness of Thine arm they are as still as a stone;Till Thy people pass over, O Lord,Till the people pass over that Thou hast gotten.17Thou bringest them in, and plantest them in the mountain of Thine inheritance,The place, O Lord, which Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in,The sanctuary, O Lord, which Thy hands have established.18The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

      19For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

      20And 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. 21And Miriam sang unto them:

      Sing ye to the Lord, for He is highly exalted:The horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.

      27And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and three score and ten palm-trees; and they encamped there by the waters.

      16And 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. 2And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness; 3and the children of Israel said unto them: 'Would that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.'
