1. Then the Lord said to Moses,
2. “Tell the people to go back to Pi Hahiroth. Tell them to spend the night between Migdol and the Red Sea, near Baal Zephon.
3. Pharaoh will think that the Israelites are lost in the desert and that the people will have no place to go.
4. I will make Pharaoh brave, and he will chase you. But I will defeat Pharaoh and his army. This will bring honor to me. Then the people of Egypt will know that I am the Lord.” So the Israelites did what he told them.
