02:013:014 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:
02:013:015 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.
02:013:016 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.
02:013:017 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:
02:013:018 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.
02:013:019 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.
02:013:020 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in
Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
02:013:021 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:
02:013:022 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the
pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
02:014:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
02:014:002 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.
02:014:003 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are
entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
02:014:004 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.
02:014:005 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?
02:014:006 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
02:014:007 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the
chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
02:014:008 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.
