Didn't we tell you back in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone so that we can go on being slaves to the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to be Egyptian slaves than to die here in the desert!”
13 and to say Moses to(wards) [the] people not to fear to stand and to see: see [obj] salvation LORD which to make: do to/for you [the] day for which to see: see [obj] Egyptian [the] day not to add: again to/for to see: see them still till forever: enduring

15 and to say LORD to(wards) Moses what? to cry to(wards) me to speak: speak to(wards) son: descendant/people Israel and to set out

The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain respect through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

so that it was positioned between the Egyptian and Israelite camps. Though the cloud was in darkness on one side, but it lit up the night on the other. No one from either camp went near the other during the night.
21 and to stretch Moses [obj] hand his upon [the] sea and to go: send LORD [obj] [the] sea in/on/with spirit: breath east strong all [the] night and to set: make [obj] [the] sea to/for dry ground and to break up/open [the] water
Then Moses held out his hand over the sea, and all through the night the Lord forced the sea back with a strong east wind, and turned the bottom of the sea into dry land. So the water was divided,
22 and to come (in): come son: descendant/people Israel in/on/with midst [the] sea in/on/with dry land and [the] water to/for them wall from right their and from left their
and the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water to their right and left.

He made their chariot wheels get stuck so it was hard for them to drive. The Egyptians shouted out, “Retreat! We must run from the Israelites because the Lord is fighting for them against us!”
26 and to say LORD to(wards) Moses to stretch [obj] hand your upon [the] sea and to return: return [the] water upon Egypt upon chariot his and upon horseman his
Then the Lord told Moses, “Hold out your hand over the sea, so that the water will pour back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.”

So Moses held out his hand over the sea, and at dawn the sea returned to normal. As the Egyptians retreated, the Lord swept them into the sea.

The water poured back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the whole of Pharaoh's army that had chased after the Israelites into the sea. Not a single one of them survived.
29 and son: descendant/people Israel to go: walk in/on/with dry land in/on/with midst [the] sea and [the] water to/for them wall from right their (and from left their *Lb)
But the Israelites had walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water to their right and left.

When the Israelites saw the great power that the Lord had used against the Egyptians, they were in awe of the Lord, and they trusted in him and in his servant Moses.
