Exodus 14:7

5 Now it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled, and ^athe heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people; and they said, “Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”

6 So he¹ made ready his chariot and took his people with him.

7 Also, he took ^asix hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt with captains over every one of them.

8 And the Lord ^ahardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; and ^bthe children of Israel went out with boldness.

9 So the ^aEgyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel ^acried out to the Lord.

11 ^aThen they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt?
