But the king's horses and chariots and soldiers caught up with them while they were camping by the Red Sea near Pi-Hahiroth and Baal-Zephon.
So he led them around through the desert and toward the Red Sea. The Israelites left Egypt, prepared for battle.
Tell the people of Israel to turn back and camp across from Pi-Hahiroth near Baal-Zephon, between Migdol and the Red Sea.
Your enemies boasted that they would pursue and capture us, divide up our possessions, treat us as they wished, then take out their swords and kill us right there.
Then they turned back toward Pi-Hahiroth, east of Baal-Zephon, and camped near Migdol.
