Chapter 13 The dedication
of the First born; the direction of the cloud and fire
1 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Sanctify unto me all
the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both
of man and of beast: it is mine.
3 And Moses said unto
the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the
house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this
place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
4 This day came ye out
in the month Abib.
5 And it shall be when
the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites,
and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy
fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep
this service in this month.
6 Seven days thou shalt
eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
7 Unleavened bread
shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee,
neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
8 And thou shalt shew
thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did
unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9 And it shall be for
a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine 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.
Chapter 14 The Drying up
of the Red Sea; the destruction of the pursuing Egyptians
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel,
that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over
against Baalzephon: 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 Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
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.
Chapter 15 The Deliverance
Sung by Moses and the People
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,
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.
