When the kingof Egyptwas toldthat the peoplehad fled,Pharaohand his servantshada changeof hearttowardthe people,and they said,"Whatis thiswe have done,that we have letIsraelgofrom servingus?"
When it was toldLabanon the thirddaythat Jacobhad fled,
He turnedtheir heartto hateHis people,To dealcraftilywith His servants.
The Egyptiansurgedthe people,to sendthem out of the landin haste,for they said,"We will allbe dead."
"Thus I will hardenPharaoh'sheart,and he will chaseafterthem; and I will be honoredthrough Pharaohand allhis army,and the Egyptianswill knowthat I am the LORD."And they didso.
So he madehis chariotreadyand tookhis peoplewith him;
"The enemysaid,'I will pursue,I will overtake,I will dividethe spoil;My desireshall be gratifiedagainst them; I will drawout my sword,my handwill destroythem.'
