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.
