Exodus 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
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.

Exodus 15
[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, [26] And said,
If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt
do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments,
and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee,
which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth
thee.
[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.

Exodus 16
[1] And 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.
[2] And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against
Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
[3] And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by
the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots,
and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into
this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. [4] Then said the
LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the
people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove
them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. [5] And it shall come to
pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in;
and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. [6] And Moses and Aaron
said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the
LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt: [7] And in the morning,
then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your
murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
[8] And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the
evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the
LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we?
your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD. [9] And Moses
spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel,
Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
[10] And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the
children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold,
the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. [11] And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying, [12] I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel:
speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye
shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
[13] And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the
camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. [14] And when
the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there
lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
[15] And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It
is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is
the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. [16] This is the thing
which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his
eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons;
take ye every man for them which are in his tents. [17] And the children of
Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. [18] And when they did
mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that
gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his
eating.
[19] And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning. [20]
Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it
until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with
them.
[21] And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating:
and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. [22] And it came to pass, that on
the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and
all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
[23] And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To
morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye
will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth
over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. [24] And they laid it up
till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there
any worm therein. [25] And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a
sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field. [26] Six
days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in
it there shall be none. [27] And it came to pass, that there went out some
of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. [28]
And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments
and my laws?
[29] See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth
you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his
place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. [30] So the
people rested on the seventh day. [31] And the house of Israel called the
name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of
it was like wafers made with honey. [32] And Moses said, This is the thing
which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your
generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the
wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
[33] And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna
therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
[34] As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony,
to be kept.
[35] And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came
to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders
of the land of Canaan.
[36] Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

Exodus 17
[1] And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the
wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of
the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to
drink.
[2] Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that
we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do
ye tempt the LORD?
[3] And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured
against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out
of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? [4] And
Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they
be almost ready to stone me.
[5] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with
thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the
river, take in thine hand, and go.
[6] Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou
shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people
may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. [7] And
he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding
of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is
the LORD among us, or not? [8] Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in
Rephidim. [9] And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out,
fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the
rod of God in mine hand.
[10] So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and
Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. [11] And it came to
pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let
down his hand, Amalek prevailed. [12] But Moses' hands were heavy; and they
took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur
stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other
side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
[13] And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
[14] And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and
rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the
remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. [15] And Moses built an altar, and
called the name of it Jehovah-nissi: [16] For he said, Because the LORD
hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to
generation.
