19 Then the angel of God,(A) who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud(B) also moved from in front and stood behind(C) them, 20 coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness(D) to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand(E) over the sea,(F) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind(G) and turned it into dry land.(H) The waters were divided,(I) 22 and the Israelites went through the sea(J) on dry ground,(K) with a wall(L) of water on their right and on their left.

19 And the Angel of God, (A)who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. 20 So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and (B)made the sea into dry land, and the waters were (C)divided. 22 So (D)the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were (E)a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

11 Then his people recalled[a] the days of old,
    the days of Moses and his people—
where is he who brought them through the sea,(A)
    with the shepherd of his flock?(B)
Where is he who set
    his Holy Spirit(C) among them,
12 who sent his glorious arm(D) of power
    to be at Moses’ right hand,
who divided the waters(E) before them,
    to gain for himself everlasting renown,(F)
13 who led(G) them through the depths?(H)
Like a horse in open country,
    they did not stumble;(I)
14 like cattle that go down to the plain,
    they were given rest(J) by the Spirit of the Lord.
This is how you guided your people
    to make for yourself a glorious name.

  1. Isaiah 63:11 Or But may he recall

11 Then he (A)remembered the days of old,
Moses and his people, saying:
“Where is He who (B)brought them up out of the sea
With the [a]shepherd of His flock?
(C)Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them,
12 Who led them by the right hand of Moses,
(D)With His glorious arm,
(E)Dividing the water before them
To make for Himself an everlasting name,
13 (F)Who led them through the deep,
As a horse in the wilderness,
That they might not stumble?”

14 As a beast goes down into the valley,
And the Spirit of the Lord causes him to rest,
So You lead Your people,
(G)To make Yourself a glorious name.
