About this story

After escaping slavery in Egypt, the Israelites find themselves trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s approaching army. The frightened people believe they are about to die, but Moses tells them to stand firm. At God’s command, he raises his staff and the sea divides, creating a path across dry ground. The Israelites cross safely while the Egyptian chariots pursue them into the passage. Moses and the Parting of the Red Sea is one of the Bible’s most dramatic stories of escape and deliverance, filled with danger, miraculous power and the destruction of the army sent to recapture the fleeing people.

Scene 1 of Moses and the Parting of the Red Sea, illustratedMoïse et l’ouverture de la mer Rouge · Scene 1

Le pharaon laisse partir le peuple. Mais Dieu ne conduit pas le peuple par le chemin des Philistins. Ce chemin est plus court. Mais Dieu dit : « Le peuple peut changer d’avis. Le peuple peut voir la guerre et retourner en Égypte. » Alors Dieu fait passer le peuple par le chemin du désert, vers la mer Rouge. Les enfants d’Israël sortent d’Égypte en ordre. Moïse prend avec lui les os de Joseph. En effet, Joseph a fait promettre cela aux enfants d’Israël. Joseph a dit : « Dieu va venir à votre secours, et vous allez emporter mes os loin d’ici avec vous. » Puis ils partent de Soukkoth. Ils campent à Étham, au bord du désert. Yahvé va devant eux. Le jour, il est dans une colonne de nuée pour guider le peuple. La nuit, il est dans une colonne de feu pour éclairer le peuple. Alors le peuple peut marcher jour et nuit. La colonne de nuée le jour et la colonne de feu la nuit restent devant le peuple.
