14 O SENHOR lutará por vós, e vós ficai quietos.

15 Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: “Por que clamas a mim? Diz aos filhos de Israel que marchem.

16 Quanto a ti, ergue a tua vara, estende a tua mão sobre o mar, e divide-o. Que os filhos de Israel entre por meio do mar em seco.

17 E eu, eis que endurecerei o coração dos egípcios, para que os sigam. E eu me glorificarei em Faraó, e em todo o seu exército, e em suas carruagens, e em sua cavalaria;

18 E os egípcios saberão que eu sou o SENHOR, quando eu me glorificar em Faraó, em seus carros, e em seus cavaleiros.”
