So the king prepared his war chariot and took his army with him.

The Lord made the king of Egypt stubborn, so he chased the Israelites, who were leaving victoriously.

Raise your walking stick and hold it over the sea so that the sea will split and the people can cross it on dry land.

I will make the Egyptians stubborn so they will chase the Israelites, but I will be honored when I defeat the king and all of his chariot drivers and chariots.

So the cloud came between the Egyptians and the Israelites. This made it dark for the Egyptians but gave light to the Israelites. So the cloud kept the two armies apart all night.

Then the Lord told Moses, "Hold your hand over the sea so that the water will come back over the Egyptians, their chariots, and chariot drivers."

So Moses raised his hand over the sea, and at dawn the sea returned to its place. The Egyptians tried to run from it, but the Lord swept them away into the sea.

So that day the Lord saved the Israelites from the Egyptians, and the Israelites saw the Egyptians lying dead on the seashore.

So Moses cried out to the Lord , and the Lord showed him a tree. When Moses threw the tree into the water, the water became good to drink. There the Lord gave the people a rule and a law to live by, and there he tested their loyalty to him.

Then the people traveled to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees. So the people camped there near the water.

So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites: "This evening you will know that the Lord is the one who brought you out of Egypt.

Tomorrow morning you will see the glory of the Lord , because he has heard you grumble against him. We are nothing, so you are not grumbling against us, but against the Lord ."

"I have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel. So tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and every morning you will eat all the bread you want. Then you will know I am the Lord your God.'"

When the Israelites saw it, they asked each other, "What is it?" because they did not know what it was. So Moses told them, "This is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.

So the people of Israel did this; some people gathered much, and some gathered little.

But some of the people did not listen to Moses and kept part of it to eat the next morning. It became full of worms and began to stink, so Moses was angry with those people.

So the people saved it until the next morning, as Moses had commanded, and none of it began to stink or have worms in it.

Look, the Lord has made the Sabbath a day of rest for you. So on the sixth day he will give you enough food for two days, but on the seventh day each of you must stay where you are. Do not go anywhere."

So the people rested on the seventh day.

So Aaron did what the Lord had commanded Moses. He put the jar of manna in front of the Agreement to keep it safe.
