“Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Tell the sons of Israel to turn back and camp in front of Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea.  You shall camp in front of Baal-zephon, opposite it, by the sea.  For Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering aimlessly in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.’  I will harden (make stubborn, defiant) Pharaoh’s heart, so...
