- Then the LORD said to Moses,
- "Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon.
- Pharaoh will think, 'The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.'
- And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD." So the Israelites did this.
- When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, "What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!"

- 耶和華曉諭摩西說、
- 你吩咐以色列人轉回、安營在比哈希錄前、密奪和海的中間、對著巴力洗分靠近海邊安營。
- 法老必說、以色列人在地中繞迷了、曠野把他們困住了。
- 我要使法老的心剛硬、他要追趕他們、我便在法老和他全軍身上得榮耀、埃及人就知道我是耶和華.於是以色列人這樣行了。
- 有人告訴埃及王說、百姓逃跑、法老和他的臣僕就向百姓變心、說、我們容以色列人去不再服事我們、這作的是甚麼事呢。
