And I will harden his heart, that he shall follow after
them, that I may get me honour upon Pharao and upon all his host,
that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did even
so. And when it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled,
then Pharao's heart and all his servants turned unto the people
and said: why have we this done, that we have let Israel go out of
our service? and he made ready his chariots and took his people
with him and took six hundred chosen chariots and all the chariots
of Egypt and captains upon all his people. For the LORD hardened
the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, that he followed after the
children of Israel which for all that went out thorow an high
hand. And the Egyptians followed after them and overtook them
where they pitched by the sea, with all the horsses and chariots
of Pharao and with his horsemen and his host: even fast by the
entering of Hiroth before Baal Zephon. And Pharao drew nye, and
when the children of Israel lift up their eyes and saw how the
Egyptians followed after them, they were sore afraid and cried out
unto the LORD. Then said they unto Moses: were there no graves for
us in Egypt, but thou must bring us away for to die in the
wilderness? wherefore hast thou served us thus, for to carry us
out of Egypt? Did not we tell thee this in Egypt saying, let us be
in rest and serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to
have served the Egyptians, than for to die in the wilderness.
