1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, saying:
2 Speake to the children of Israel, that they turne and remayne before Pi Hiroth betwene Migdol and the see, oueragaynst Baalzephon: and before that shall they pitch by the see.
3 For Pharao wyll saye of the children of Israel: they are tangled in the lande, the wildernes hath shut them in.
4 And I will harden Pharaos hert, that he shall folowe after you: and I will get me honoure vpon Pharao and vpon all his hoost, the Egipcians also shall knowe that I am the Lorde. And they dyd euen so.
5 And it was tolde the king of Egipt that the people fled. And the hert of Pharao and of his seruauntes turned agaynst the people and they sayde: why haue we this done that we haue let Israel go out of our seruice?
6 and he made ready his charettes: and toke hys people with him
7 and toke syxe hundred chosen charettes and all the charettes of Egipt and captaynes vpon euery one of them.
8 And the Lord hardened the hert of Pharao kyng of Egipt, and he folowed after the chyldren of Israel. But the children of Israel wente out with an hye hande:
9 and the Egipcians folowed after them, and all the horses and charettes of Pharao and his horsemen and his hoost ouertoke them abyding by the see, besyde Pi Hiroth before Baal zephon.
10 And when Pharao drewe nie, the children of Israel lyft vp their eyes and beholde, the Egipcians folowed after them, and they were sore afrayde: and the children of Israel cryed out vnto the Lorde.
11 But they sayde vnto Moses: because there were no graues in Egipt, hast thou therfore brought vs awaye for to dye in the wyldernes? wherfore hast thou serued vs thus, for to carye vs out of Egipte?
12 Dyd not we tell the this in Egipt, saying: let vs be in rest, that we maye serue the Egipcians? For it had bene better for vs to haue serued the Egipcians then for to dye in the wildernesse.
13 And Moses sayde vnto the people: feare ye not, stande styll, & beholde, howe the Lorde shall saue you this daie. For ye that haue sene the Egipcians this daye, shall se them nomore for euer.
14 The Lorde shall fyght for you, and ye shall holde your peace.
15 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: wherfore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forwarde.
