Exodus 14:6-10 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

6. So he had his chariot made ready. He took his army with him.

7. He took 600 of the best chariots in Egypt. He also took along all of the other chariots. Officers were in charge of all of them.

8. The Lord made the heart of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, stubborn. So he chased the Israelites, who were marching out boldly.

9. The Egyptians went after the Israelites. All of Pharaoh's horses and chariots and horsemen and troops went after them. They caught up with them as they camped by the sea. The Israelites were near Pi Hahiroth, across from Baal Zephon.

10. As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up. There were the Egyptians marching after them! The Israelites were terrified. They cried out to the Lord.
