Shabbat, 10 Shevat, 5785 (8 February, 2025)
| 17 Since Pharaoh had to send the people out, God did not lead them via Philistia, because it was nearby, for God said, “The people may have a change of heart when they see war, and return to Egypt.” |
| 18 So God led the people via the desert road toward the Sea of Reeds. The Israelites were armed when they went up from Egypt. |
| 19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had bound the sons of Israel by an oath that they should bind their descendants by an oath, saying, “God will surely remember you, and you must take up my bones from here with you.” |
| 20 They moved on from Sukot and encamped at Etam, at the edge of the desert. |
| 21 God went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to guide them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel day and night. |
| 22 He did not remove the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night from before the people. |

| 1 God spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that they must turn back and encamp before Pi HaChirot, between Migdol and the sea, before Ba’al Tzefon. You must encamp opposite it, facing the sea. |
| 3 Pharaoh will say about the Israelites, ‘They are trapped in the land; the desert has closed in on them.’ |
| 4 I will make Pharaoh stubborn and he will pursue them. I will then be glorified through Pharaoh and his entire army, and the Egyptians will finally recognize that I am God.” They did this. |
| 5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his courtiers had a change of heart toward the people. They said, “What is this that we have done, sending Israel away from our service?” |
| 6 Pharaoh harnessed his chariot and took his people with him. |
| 7 He took 600 choice chariots, as well as the rest of the chariots of Egypt, with officers in command of them all. |
| 8 God made Pharaoh, king of Egypt, stubborn, and he pursued the Israelites. The Israelites were leaving triumphantly. |
