2. Speak to the Israelites: Let them turn about and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. Camp in front of Baal-zephon, just opposite, by the sea.
3. Pharaoh will then say, “The Israelites are wandering about aimlessly in the land. The wilderness has closed in on them.”
4. I will so harden Pharaoh’s heart that he will pursue them. Thus I will receive glory through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.This the Israelites did.
