Éxodo 14:3

Listen to Éxodo 14:3
3 El faraón va a pensar: “Los israelitas andan perdidos en esa tierra. ¡El desierto los tiene acorralados!”

Éxodo 14:3 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 14:3

For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel
The Septuagint version adds, "to his people", his ministers and courtiers, when he hears where they are: they are entangled in the land;
have lost their way, and got into places they cannot easily get out of, and are perplexed in their minds, and do not know what way to take or course to steer: the wilderness hath shut them in;
or, "shut up the way to them" F14; the wilderness between the mountains the above mentioned traveller speaks of F15 the mountains of Gewoubee; these would stop their flight or progress to the southward, as those of the Attackah would do the same towards the land of the Philistines; the Red sea likewise lay before them to the east, while Pharaoh (could) close up the valley behind them, with his chariots and his horsemen; and which, no doubt, appeared very advantageous and encouraging to him, as it must be very distressing to the Israelites.

Éxodo 14:3 In-Context

1 El SEÑOR habló con Moisés y le dijo:
2 «Ordénales a los israelitas que regresen y acampen frente a Pi Ajirot, entre Migdol y el mar. Que acampen junto al mar, frente a Baal Zefón.
3 El faraón va a pensar: “Los israelitas andan perdidos en esa tierra. ¡El desierto los tiene acorralados!”
4 Yo, por mi parte, endureceré el corazón del faraón para que él los persiga. Voy a cubrirme de gloria, a costa del faraón y de todo su ejército. ¡Y los egipcios sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR!»Así lo hicieron los israelitas.
5 Y cuando el rey de Egipto se enteró de que el pueblo se había escapado, tanto él como sus funcionarios cambiaron de parecer en cuanto a los israelitas y dijeron: «¡Pero qué hemos hecho! ¿Cómo pudimos dejar que se fueran los israelitas y abandonaran su trabajo?»
