1 Then the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Tell the Israelites to turn back and camp in front of Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the Red Sea, near Baal Zephon.
3 The king will think that the Israelites are wandering about in the country and are closed in by the desert.
4 I will make him stubborn, and he will pursue you, and my victory over the king and his army will bring me honour. Then the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” The Israelites did as they were told.
