Exodus. Exercitus Pharaonis.
Douay-Rheims translation
14:10 And when Pharao drew near, the children of Israel, lifting up their
eyes, saw the Egyptians behind them: and they feared exceedingly, and cried
to the Lord.
14:11 And they said to Moses: Perhaps there were no graves in Egypt, therefore
thou hast brought us to die in the wilderness: why wouldst thou do this, to
lead us out of Egypt?
14:12 Is not this the word that we spoke to thee in Egypt, saying: Depart
from us that we may serve the Egyptians? for it was much better to serve them,
than to die in the wilderness.
14:13 And Moses said to the people: Fear not: stand and see the great wonders
of the Lord, which he will do this day: for the Egyptians, whom you see now,
you shall see no more for ever.
14:14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.

14:21 And when Moses had stretched forth his hand over the sea, the Lord took
it away by a strong and burning wind blowing all the night, and turned it
into dry ground: and the water was divided.
14:22 And the children of Israel went in through the midst of the sea dried
up: for the water was as a wall on their right hand and on their left.
14:23 And the Egyptians pursuing went in after them, and all Pharao's horses,
his chariots and horsemen through the midst of the sea,
14:24 And now the morning watch was come, and behold the Lord looking upon
the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, slew their
host.
14:25 And overthrew the wheels of the chariots, and they were carried into
the deep. And the Egyptians said: Let us flee from Israel: for the Lord fighteth
for them against us.
14:26 And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth they hand over the sea, that
the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and horsemen.
14:27 And when Moses had stretched forth his hand towards the sea, it returned
at the first break of day to the former place: and as the Egyptians were fleeing
away, the waters came upon them, and the Lord shut them up in the middle of
the waves.
14:28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of
all the army of Pharao, who had come into the sea after them, neither did
there so much as one of them remain.
