Egypt but that we must now die in wilderness?  Said we not to thee:  Go from us and let us serve the Egyptians:  It had been much better for us to have served the Egyptians than to die here in wilderness.  And Moses said to the people:  Be ye not afraid, stand and see ye the great wonders that our Lord shall do for you this day.  The Egyptians that ye now see, ye shall never see them after this day.  God shall fight for you, and be ye still.  Our Lord said then to Moses:  What criest thou to me?  Say to the children of Israel that they go forth.  Take thou and raise the rod, and stretch thy hand upon the sea, and depart it that the children of Israel may go dry through the middle of it.  I shall so indurate the heart of Pharaoh that he shall follow you, and all the Egyptians, and I shall be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his host, his carts and horsemen.  And the Egyptians shall know that I am Lord when I shall so be glorified.  The angel of God went tofore the castles of Israel, and another came after in the cloud which stood between them of Egypt and the children of Israel.  And the cloud was dark that the host of Israel might not come to them of all the night.  Then Moses stretched his hand upon the sea, and there came a wind blowing in such wise that it waxed dry, and the children of Israel went in through the midst of the Red Sea all dry foot; for the water stood up as a wall on the right side and on the left side.  The Egyptians then pursuing them followed and entered after them, and all the carts, chariots and horsemen, through the middle of the sea.  And then our Lord beheld that the children of Israel were passed over and were on the dry land, on that other side.  Anon turned the water on them, and the wheels on their carts turned up so down, and drowned all the host of Pharaoh, and sank down into the deep of the sea.  Then said the Egyptians:  Let us flee Israel; the Lord fighteth for them against us.  And our Lord said to Moses:  Stretch out thine hand upon the sea, and let the water return upon the Egyptians, and upon their chariots and horsemen.  And so Moses stretched out his hand and the sea returned in to his first place.  And then the Egyptians would have fled, but the water came and overflowed them in the midst of the flood, and it covered the chariots and horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh, and there was not one saved of them.  And the children of Israel had passed through the middle of the dry sea and came a-land.

Thus delivered our Lord the children of Israel from the hand of the Egyptians, and they saw the Egyptians lying dead upon the brinks of the sea.  And the people then dreaded our Lord and believed in him, and to Moses his servant.  Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to our Lord:  Cantemus domino magnificatus est, Let us sing to our Lord, he is magnified, he hath overthrown the horsemen and carmen in the sea.  And Miriam the sister of Aaron, a prophetess, took a timpane in her hand, and all
