USimakade wathi kuMose: “Khuluma nabantu bakwa-Israyeli ukuze babuyele emuva, bayokanisa phambi kwePhi Hahirothi, phakathi kweMigidoli nolwandle, phambi kweBhali Zefoni; bakanise ngasolwandle babhekane nalo. UFaro uyakuthi ngabantu bakwa-Israyeli: ‘Bayazulazula bedidekile ezweni, ihlane libavalele.’ “Ngiyakuyenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, uyakubalandela, ukuze ngithole udumo ngoFaro nangempi yakhe yonke; abaseGibhithe bayakukwazi ukuthi nginguSimakade.” Benza kanjalo. Yabikelwa inkosi yaseGibhithe ukuthi abantu babalekile. UFaro nezinceku zakhe baguqula umqondo mayelana nabantu, bathi: “Yini le esiyenzileyo ukuba sikhulule abakwa-Israyeli bangabe besasisebenzela na?” Wabophela inqola yakhe yempi, wahamba nabantu bakhe; wathatha izinqola ezikhethiweyo ezingama-600, nazo zonke ezinye izinqola zempi zaseGibhithe, nezinduna zempi. USimakade wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe, wabalandela abantu bakwa-Israyeli ngokuba babephume ngesandla esiphakeme. AbaseGibhithe babalandela ngamahhashi, nezinqola zempi zikaFaro, nempi yakhe, babafica bekanise ngasolwandle ePhi Hahirothi, phambi kweBhali Zefoni. Kwathi lapho uFaro esesondela, abantu bakwa-Israyeli baphakamisa amehlo abo bababona abaseGibhithe bebalandela, besaba kakhulu abantu bakwa-Israyeli, base bekhala kuSimakade. Bathi kuMose: “Yingoba abengekho yini amangcwaba eGibhithe ukuba usikhiphele kuleli hlane sizofela khona na? Yini le osenze yona ngokusikhipha eGibhithe na? Asishongo yini kuwe siseseGibhithe sathi: ‘Siyeke ukuze sisebenzele abaseGibhithe’ na? Ngokuba bekungcono ukusebenzela abaseGibhithe kunokuba sizofela ehlane.” Kepha uMose wathi kubantu: “Ningesabi, qinani, nibone ukukhululwa uSimakade azonenzela khona namuhla; ngokuba laba baseGibhithe enibabona namuhla anisayukuphinde nibabone naphakade. USimakade uzonilwela, nina thulani du.”

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: “Yisho kwabakwa-Israyeli ukuba babuyele emuva, bamise ngaphambi kwePhi Hahiroti, ngaphakathi kweMigidoli nolwandle, phambi kweBali Sefoni; anomisa ngaselwandle, nibhekane nalo. UFaro uyakuthi ngabantwana bakwa-Israyeli: ‘Badidekile ezweni, ihlane libavalele.’ Ngiyakuyenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro, abalandele; ngiyakudunyiswa ngoFaro nangebandla lakhe lonke; abaseGibithe bayakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.” Benze njalo-ke. Inkosi yaseGibithe yabikelwa ukuthi abantu sebebalekile; inhliziyo kaFaro neyezinceku zakhe yabaguqukela abantu, bathi: “Yini lokhu esikwenzileyo, sabavumela abakwa-Israyeli ukuba bahambe, bangasikhonzi, na?” Wabophela inqola yakhe, wahamba nabantu bakhe. Wathatha izinqola ezingamakhulu ayisithupha ezikhethiweyo, nezinqola zonke zaseGibithe, nezinduna zazo zonke. UJehova wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo kaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe; waxosha abakwa-Israyeli; ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphuma ngesandla esiphakamileyo. AbaseGibithe babaxosha, amahhashi onke, nezinqola zikaFaro, nabamahhashi bakhe, nempi yakhe, babafica bemise ngaselwandle ngasePhi Hahiroti ngaphambi kweBali Sefoni. UFaro esesondela, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphakamisa amehlo abo; bheka, abaseGibithe babebalandela; base besaba kakhulu; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhala kuJehova. Bathi kuMose: “Kungokuba kwakungekho mathuna eGibithe usikhiphile ukuba sifele ehlane na? Usenzeleni lokhu, wasikhipha eGibithe, na? Leli alisilo izwi esalikhuluma kuwe eGibithe, sithi: ‘Siyeke, sikhonze abaseGibithe,’ na? Ngokuba bekuyakuba ngcono kithi ukubakhonza abaseGibithe kunokuba sifele ehlane.” UMose wathi kubantu: “Ningesabi; qinani, nibone ukusindisa kukaJehova azakunenzela khona namuhla, ngokuba abaseGibithe enibabonile namuhla anisayikubuye nibabone naphakade.” UJehova uzakunilwela, nothula nina.
