¶2; The .xiiij. Chapter.1 God commaundeth to pitche their pauilions in a daungerous place, that he may be
the more glorified. 4 God hardeneth the heart of Pharao. 5 Pharao pursueth Israel.
10 The Israelites dispayryng of deliueraunce do grudge. 13 Moyses promiseth them
their safetie by God. 15 Moyses crying to God, is c&obar;maunded to deuide the sea with
his rod. 19 The angell folowyng the tentes of Israel, they passe through the middes
of the sea. 24 God drowneth Pharao with his armie. 31 The Israelites do feare
God when they see the miracle. A
1And the Lorde spake
vnto Moyses, saying:
2 Speake to the chyldr&ebar;
of Israel, that they
turne ∧ pitch their tentes
before Pi-hahiroth
betweene Migdol and
the sea, ouer agaynst Baal-sephon, and
before that shall they pitche by the sea.
3 For Pharao wyll say of the chyldren
of Israel: they are tangled in the lande,
the wyldernesse hath shut them in.
4 And I wyll harden Pharaos heart,
that he shall folowe after you, and I
wyll get me honour vpon Pharao, and
vpon al his hoast: The Egyptians also
shall knowe that I am the Lorde. And
they dyd euen so.
5 And it was tolde the kyng of Egypt
that the people fledde. And the heart of
Pharao and of his seruauntes turned
agaynst the people, and they said: Why
haue we done this, that we haue let Israel
go out of our seruice?
6 And he made redy his charette, and
toke his people with hym.
B
7 And toke sixe hundred chosen charets,
and all the charets of Egypt, and capitaynes
vpon euery one of them.
8 And the Lorde hardened the heart of
Pharao kyng of Egypt, and he folowed
after þe; children of Israel: but the childr&ebar;
of Israel went out with an hye hande.
9 And the Egyptians folowed after th&ebar;,
and al the horses and charettes of Pharao,
and his horsemen, and his hoast
ouertoke them pitchyng of their tent
by the sea beside Pi-hahiroth before Baal-sephon.
10 And when Pharao drewe nygh, the
chyldren of Israel lift vp their eyes, and
beholde, the Egyptians folowed after
them, and they were sore afrayde: and
the chyldren of Israel cryed out vnto
the Lorde.
11 But they sayde vnto Moyses: note because
there were no graues in Egypt,
hast thou therfore brought vs away for
to dye in the wildernesse? Wherfore hast
thou serued vs thus, for to carry vs out
of Egypt?
C
12 Dyd not we tell thee this in Egypt,
saying, let vs be in rest, that we maye
serue the Egyptians? For it had ben better
for vs to haue serued the Egyptians,
then for to dye in the wyldernesse.
13noteAnd Moyses saide vnto the people:
Feare ye not, stande styll, and beholde
the saluation of the Lorde whiche he
wyll shewe to you this day: For ye that
haue seene the Egyptians this day, shal
see them no more for euer.

14noteThe Lorde shall fyght for you, and
ye shall holde your peace.
15 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses:
Wherfore note cryest thou vnto me? speake
vnto the children of Israel that they go
forwarde.
16 But lyft thou vp thy rod, and stretche
out thy hande ouer the sea, and deuide it
a sunder, and let the children of Israel
go on drye grounde through the middes
of the sea.
C
17 And beholde I [euen] I wyll harden
the heart of the Egyptians, and they
shall folowe after them: and I wyll get
me honour vpon Pharao, and vpon all
his hoast, and vpon his charettes, and
vpon his horsemen.
18noteAnd the Egyptians shal know that
I am the Lorde, when I haue gotten
me honour vp&obar; Pharao, vpon his charets,
and vpon his horsemen.
19noteAnd the angell of God which went
before the hoast of Israel, remoued and
went behynde them: and the pyller of
the cloude went from before their face,
and stoode behynde them,
20 And came betweene the tentes of the
Egyptians, and the tentes of Israel,
and it was a cloude and darknesse, and
gaue lyght by nyght: and all the nyght
long the one came not at the other.
21 And Moyses stretched out his hande
ouer the sea, ∧ the Lorde caused the sea
to go backe by a very strong east wynde
all that nyght, and made the sea drye
[lande] and the waters were deuided.
22noteAnd the children of Israel went into
the middest of the sea vppon the drye
[grounde,] and the waters were a wall
vnto them on their ryght hande and on
their left hande.
D
23 And the Egyptians folowed, ∧ went
in after them note to the myddest of the
sea, euen all Pharaos horses, his charettes,
and his horsemen.
24noteAnd in the mornyng watche, the
Lord loked vnto the hoast of the Egyptians
out of the pyller of the fire and of
the cloude, and troubled the hoast of the
Egyptians.
25noteAnd toke of his charet wheeles, and
caryed them away violently: So that
the Egyptians sayde, note Let vs flee fr&obar;
the face of Israel, for the Lord fighteth
for them agaynst the Egyptians.
26 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses:
Stretche out thyne hande ouer the sea,
that the waters may come againe vpon
the Egyptians, vpon their charets, and
vpon their horsemen.
27 And Moyses stretched foorth his hand
ouer the sea, and it came agayne to his
course early in the mornyng, and the Egyptians
fled agaynst it: and the Lorde
ouerthrewe the Egyptians in the middest
of the sea.
28 And the water returned, and couered
the charettes, and the horsemen, and all
the hoast of Pharao that came into the
sea after them, so that there remayned

not one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked vppon
drye [lande] through the middest of
the sea, and the waters were a wall vnto
them on the right hande of them, and
on the left.
30 Thus the Lorde deliuered Israel the
selfe same daye out of the hande of the
Egyptians: and Israel sawe the Egyptians
dead vpon the sea syde.
31noteAnd Israel sawe that myghtie power
which the Lorde shewed vpon the
Egyptians: and the people feared the
Lorde, and beleued the Lorde and his
seruaunt Moyses.
