Exodus 14

Gen Z: Exodus 14

1Yo, the Lord hit up Moses and said,

2Tell the fam of Israel to bounce and set up camp by Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, facing Baal-zephon: that’s where they should chill by the waves.

3Pharaoh's gonna think the Israelites are stuck in the land, like the wilderness totally boxed them in.

4I'm gonna harden Pharaoh's heart so he chases after them; I'm about to flex on Pharaoh and his crew so the Egyptians know I’m the Lord. And they did just that.

5Word got to the king of Egypt that the people dipped, and Pharaoh and his squad were like, "Why did we let Israel ghost us?"

6So he prepped his chariot and rolled out with his squad:

7He grabbed six hundred dope chariots and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over each one.

8The Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he chased after the Israelites, who left with mad confidence.

9But the Egyptians were hot on their trail, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, plus his horsemen and army, caught up with them camping by the sea, next to Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.

10When Pharaoh got close, the Israelites looked up and saw the Egyptians rolling after them; they were shook, and the Israelites cried out to the Lord.

11They were like, "Moses, are you serious? No graves in Egypt? Did you just bring us out here to die? That's sus."

12They were all, "Didn't we tell you in Egypt to leave us alone so we could just serve the Egyptians? Honestly, it would’ve been better to stay and serve them than die out here."

13Moses was like, "Chill, fam. Just stand still and watch the Lord save us today. Those Egyptians you see? You won’t see them ever again, no cap."

14The Lord's got your back, fam. Just stay quiet and let Him do His thing.

15The Lord told Moses, "Why you crying to Me? Tell the Israelites to keep it moving."

16"Just raise your staff and stretch your hand over the sea to split it. The Israelites will walk through on dry ground, periodt."

17"I’m gonna harden the Egyptians' hearts, and they'll follow you. I'm about to flex on Pharaoh and his whole squad, chariots and all."

18"The Egyptians will know I'm the Lord when I show off on Pharaoh and his chariots, no doubt."

19The angel of God, who was leading Israel, switched it up and went behind them. The cloud moved from the front and stood at the back.

20It was all dark and cloudy for the Egyptians, but it lit up the night for Israel, keeping them separated all night long.

21Moses threw his hand over the sea, and God sent a wild east wind all night, making the sea dry land. Major vibes.

22The Israelites walked right through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on both sides. No cap.

23The Egyptians were like, "Bet," and chased after them into the sea with all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots.

24Then in the morning, God peeped the Egyptians through the fire and cloud and was like, "Nah, y’all sus."

25He straight-up took off their chariot wheels, making it hard to drive, and the Egyptians were like, "We gotta bounce; God’s got Israel’s back!"

26God told Moses to stretch his hand over the sea again so the waters could come back on the Egyptians and their chariots.

27Moses did his thing and the sea went back to normal at morning light; the Egyptians tried to flee, but God wrecked them in the sea.

28The waters came back and covered the chariots and horsemen, leaving not a single one of them. Savage.

29But the Israelites walked on dry land in the sea, with walls of water on both sides. Goated.

30That day, God saved Israel from the Egyptians, and they saw the dead Egyptians on the shore. Periodt.

31Israel peeped the epic stuff God pulled on the Egyptians: the squad was shook, had mad respect for the Lord, and totally believed in Him and Moses, His homie.

KJV: Exodus 14

1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi–hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal–zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.

3For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.

4And 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.

5And 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?

6And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:

7And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.

8And 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.

9But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi–hahiroth, before Baal–zephon.

10And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord.

11And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?

12Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

13And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

14The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

15And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:

16But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

17And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

18And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

19And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:

20And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

21And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

22And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

23And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

24And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,

25And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

26And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

27And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

28And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.

29But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

30Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.

31And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses.
