21 And YHWH was going ahead of them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them in the right direction, and at night by a pillar of fire to illumine them, so they could travel day and night. 22 The pillar of cloud did not disappear during the day, nor the pillar of fire at night.14:1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, 2 "Tell the sons of Israel to return and encamp in front of Pi-hahirot, between Migdal and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon; you shall camp facing it, by the sea.3 And Pharaoh will say of the sons of Israel, 'They are wandering aimlessly in the area. The wilderness has shut them in.' 4. I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will chase them. In that way I will get glory for myself over Pharaoh and his entire army. The Egyptians will know that I am YHWH." They did so.

15 YHWH said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward. 16 Lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it so that the Israelites can go into the sea on dry ground. 17 I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. In that way I will get glory for myself over Pharaoh and his entire army, his chariots and his charioteers. 18 Then the Egyptians will know that I am YHWH, after I have gotten glory for myself over Pharaoh, his chariots and his charioteers.
14:21c-23
And the waters were divided. 22 The Israelites went into the sea on dry ground. The waters formed a wall on their right and on their left. 23 The Egyptians pursued them, going into the sea right after them, all of Pharaoh's horses, chariots and charioteers.
14:26-27
26 YHWH said to Moses, "Stretch your hand out over the sea so that the water will come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and charioteers." 27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea.
14:28-29
28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the charioteers, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea. Not one of them survived. 29 But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground. The waters had formed a wall on their right and on their left.
