BRAGADAYJAH 200

        The Lord had Moses and Aaron meeting and communicating with His people; but He remained their commander-in-chief.  Even though they were released from Egypt, God knew they needed protection; so he provided protection by night and by day. By day they travelled as it were wrapped in a cloud, hidden from the enemy; by night He provided a lamp in the form of a cloud of fire which only they could see.
            As they moved on from Etham where they rested; but He continued to lead them until He decided they needed a safe place to rest again; so when they arrived at Pihahiroth-by-the Sea, he ordered them to encamp there.
            As always, God had a plan both for His people and for the Pharaoh; for He knew Pharaoh’s heart, and knew what he would do next. At Pihahiroth the children of Israel were boxed in. They could not advance as the sea was ahead of them; they could only retreat; so Pharaoh’s spies told him of the situation that the children of Israel had placed themselves in, and urged him to stop them.  “Why did we let them go?” they urged the Pharaoh. “Now we will have to do the work they used to do, and we are not used to hard work.”  So thus urged the Pharaoh hardened his heart and started off in hot pursuit after them.
            He ordered his chariot to be ready and accompanied by all the charioteer of Egypt and horses and horsemen and the whole Egyptian army, chased after them and saw them encamped before the sea.
            Seeing the host of the Egyptian army, the children of Israel were put in great fear and they cried out to their God.  What will God do, need we ask?”  More
