Exodus 14:14-21
Revised Standard Version
14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be still.” 15 The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. 16 Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go on dry ground through the sea. 17 And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen. 18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten glory over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19 Then the angel of God who went before the host of Israel moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them, 20 coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness; and the night passed[a] without one coming near the other all night.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me?(C) Tell the Israelites to move on. 16 Raise your staff(D) and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water(E) so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 17 I will harden the hearts(F) of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them.(G) And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. 18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord(H) when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”
19 Then the angel of God,(I) who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud(J) also moved from in front and stood behind(K) them, 20 coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness(L) 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(M) over the sea,(N) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind(O) and turned it into dry land.(P) The waters were divided,(Q)

King James Version
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 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.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; 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.
21 And 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 made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
