Exodus · Chapter 13
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Yisra'el,
both of man and of beast: it
is mine.
And Mosheh said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) brought you out from this
place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
This day came ye out in the month Abib.
And it shall be when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day
shall be a feast to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying,
This is done
because of that
which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) did unto me when I came forth out of Mitsrayim.
And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)’S torah may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) brought thee out of Mitsrayim.
Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
And it shall be when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
That thou shalt set apart unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males
shall be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)’S.
And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What
is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) brought us out from Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage:
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) slew all the firstborn in the land of Mitsrayim, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) brought us forth out of Mitsrayim.
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Elohim led them not
through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that
was near; for Elohim said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Mitsrayim:
But Elohim led the people about,
through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Yisra'el went up harnessed out of the land of Mitsrayim.
And Mosheh took the bones of Yoseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Yisra'el, saying, Elohim will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night,
from before the people.

Shemot14
Exodus · Chapter 14
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Speak unto the children of Yisra'el, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Yisra'el, They
are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH). And they did so.
And it was told the king of Mitsrayim that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Yisra'el go from serving us?
And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Mitsrayim, and captains over every one of them.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim, and he pursued after the children of Yisra'el: and the children of Yisra'el went out with an high hand.
But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses
and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Yisra'el lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Yisra'el cried out unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And they said unto Mosheh, Because
there were no graves in Mitsrayim, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Mitsrayim?
Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Mitsrayim, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For
it had been
better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
And Mosheh said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Yisra'el, that they go forward:
But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Yisra'el shall go on dry
ground through the midst of the sea.
And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
And the Egyptians shall know that I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
And the mal'akh of Elohim, which went before the camp of Yisra'el, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Yisra'el; and it was a cloud and darkness
to them, but it gave light by night
to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea; and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) caused the sea to go
back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry
land, and the waters were divided.
And the children of Yisra'el went into the midst of the sea upon the dry
ground: and the waters
were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea,
even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
And it came to pass, that in the morning watch 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Yisra'el; for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Mosheh, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
And Mosheh stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen,
and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
But the children of Yisra'el walked upon dry
land in the midst of the sea; and the waters
were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
Thus 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) saved Yisra'el that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Yisra'el saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
And Yisra'el saw that great work which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and believed 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and his servant Mosheh.

Exodus · Chapter 15
Then sang Mosheh and the children of Yisra'el this song unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and spake, saying, I will sing unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he
is my Elohim, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s Elohim, and I will exalt him.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is a man of war: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is his name.
Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
Thy right hand, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath,
which consumed them as stubble.
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap,
and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Who
is like unto thee, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), among the gods? who
is
like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful
in praises, doing wonders?
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people
which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided
them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
The people shall hear,
and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be
as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), till the people pass over,
which thou hast purchased.
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance,
in the place, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O master,
which thy hands have established.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall reign for ever and ever.
For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Yisra'el went on dry
land in the midst of the sea.
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
So Mosheh brought Yisra'el from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they
were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
And the people murmured against Mosheh, saying, What shall we drink?
And he cried unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shewed him a tree,
which
when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his mitsvot, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I
am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) that healeth thee.
And they came to Elim, where
were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
