17. Showdown with Egypt at the Red Sea

Exodus 14:1-4 (ESV)

^1  Then the LORD said to Moses,

^2  “Tell the people of Israel to turn back and encamp in front of Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon; you shall encamp facing it, by the sea.

^3  For Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel, ‘They are wandering in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.’

^4  And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.” And they did so.
