1 Then the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Tell the Israelites to go back and set up their camp facing Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. Set up your camp facing north—by the sea.
3 Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are ⌊just⌋ wandering around. The desert is blocking their escape.’
4 I will make Pharaoh so stubborn that he will pursue them. Then, because of what I do to Pharaoh and his entire army, I will receive honor, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” So that is what the Israelites did.
