14 The Lord will fight for you, and there is no need for you to do anything.”
15 The Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out for help? Tell the people to move forward.
16 Lift up your stick and hold it out over the sea. The water will divide, and the Israelites will be able to walk through the sea on dry ground.
17 I will make the Egyptians so stubborn that they will go in after them, and I will gain honour by my victory over the king, his army, his chariots, and his drivers.
18 When I defeat them, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.”
19 The angel of God, who had been in front of the army of Israel, moved and went to the rear. The pillar of cloud also moved until it was
20 between the Egyptians and the Israelites. The cloud made it dark for the Egyptians, but gave light to the people of Israel, and so the armies could not come near each other all night.
