Exodus 14:6 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 14:6

And he made ready his chariot
Which he usually rode in when he went forth to war; for this seems to be a military chariot, and not for show or grandeur; and this was got ready not by himself, as Jarchi, but rather by his orders, as Aben Ezra:

and took his people with him;
the Greek version reads, "all his people"; not all his subjects, but his soldiers; at least a great number, and especially his cavalry.

Exodus 14:6 In-Context

4 Then I'll make Pharaoh's heart stubborn again and he'll chase after them. And I'll use Pharaoh and his army to put my Glory on display. Then the Egyptians will realize that I am God." And that's what happened.

5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people were gone, he and his servants changed their minds. They said, "What have we done, letting Israel, our slave labor, go free?"

6 So he had his chariots harnessed up and got his army together.

7 He took six hundred of his best chariots, with the rest of the Egyptian chariots and their drivers coming along.

8 God made Pharaoh king of Egypt stubborn, determined to chase the Israelites as they walked out on him without even looking back.
