His role is reminiscent of Christ, who is the ultimate mediator between God and humanity. Moses' leadership is crucial at this moment of crisis, demonstrating the importance of faith and obedience to God's appointed leaders.Do not be afraid. Fear is a common human response to danger, but throughout Scripture, God frequently commands His people not to fear (<a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a>, <a href="/joshua/1-9.htm">Joshua 1:9</a>). This command is a call to trust in God's power and faithfulness, reminding believers that God is sovereign over all circumstances.Stand firm This phrase emphasizes the need for faith and patience. The Israelites are instructed to remain steadfast and trust in God's deliverance. This mirrors <a href="/ephesians/6-13.htm">Ephesians 6:13</a>, where believers are encouraged to stand firm in the face of spiritual battles, relying on God's strength.and you will see the LORD’s salvation, The concept of salvation is central to the biblical narrative. Here, it refers to physical deliverance from the Egyptians, but it also foreshadows the spiritual salvation offered through Jesus Christ. The LORD's salvation is a demonstration of His power and grace, fulfilling His promises to His people.which He will accomplish for you today; This assurance highlights God's active role in delivering His people. It underscores the immediacy and certainty of God's intervention. The phrase "for you" emphasizes God's personal care and commitment to His covenant people.for the Egyptians you see today, The Egyptians represent the oppressive forces from which God is delivering the Israelites. Historically, Egypt was a powerful nation, and its army was formidable. This context underscores the miraculous nature of the impending deliverance.you will never see again. This promise signifies a complete and final deliverance from their oppressors. It is a prophetic declaration of God's victory over the enemies of His people.

So long as we have means of resistance put in our power, with a reasonable prospect of success, it is our duty to use them--to exert ourselves to the uttermost, to make all possible efforts. God, for the most part, "helps those who help themselves." But there are occasions when we can do nothing--when all must be left to Him. (Comp. <a href="/2_chronicles/20-17.htm" title="You shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand you still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.">2Chronicles 20:17</a>.) Under these circumstances, our duty and our true wisdom is to wait patiently, quietly, courageously. Moses, probably, did not yet know how God would effect Israel's deliverance, but he was confident that, in one way or another, it would be effected.The Egyptians whom ye have seen . . . --Heb., As ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye shall see them no more for ever: i.e., never again shall ye see them in the pride of power, haughty, menacing, terrible. When next you behold them they will be stiff and lifeless--pale corpses strewing the Red Sea shore (see <a href="/exodus/14-30.htm" title="Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea shore.">Exodus 14:30</a>). The reference is to the present time only, not to the future relations of the two peoples.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/14.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 13. - And Moses said... fear ye not. Moses knew that the pursuit of Israel by the host of the Egyptians was a part of the counsel of God, and was to tend in some way or other to the promotion of God's honour and glory (ver. 4). He had sufficient faith to believe in a deliverance the nature of which it is not likely that he could anyway conjecture. Whether hail would fall from heaven and destroy them (<a href="/joshua/10-11.htm">Joshua 10:11</a>); or the earth gape and swallow them up (<a href="/numbers/16-32.htm">Numbers 16:32</a>); or the angel of death smite them all in the night (<a href="/2_kings/19-35.htm">2 Kings 19:35</a>); or any other strange form of destruction come upon them, he did not know; but he concluded from what had been revealed to him, that God was about to vindicate his own honour without the aid of man. Hence his words - Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord - which assigned to the Israelites a mere passive attitude of expectation. For the Egyptians, etc. The order of the words in the original favours the marginal rendering, which is to be adopted with one slight change. Translate - "For, as ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever," i.e., ye shall see them no more alive, vigorous and menacing, but still and lifeless upon the Red Sea shore (ver. 30). There is no reference to any other Egyptians than those with Pharaoh in the camp, nor to any later relations between Egypt and the chosen people. <a href="/commentaries/exodus/14-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>But Moses מֹשֶׁ֣ה (mō·šeh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4872.htm">Strong's 4872: </a> Moses -- a great Israelite leader, prophet and lawgiver told וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (way·yō·mer) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say the people, הָעָם֮ (hā·‘ām) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock “Do not אַל־ (’al-) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_408.htm">Strong's 408: </a> Not be afraid. תִּירָאוּ֒ (tî·rā·’ū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3372.htm">Strong's 3372: </a> To fear, to revere, caus, to frighten Stand firm הִֽתְיַצְב֗וּ (hiṯ·yaṣ·ḇū) Verb - Hitpael - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3320.htm">Strong's 3320: </a> To set or station oneself, take one's stand and you will see וּרְאוּ֙ (ū·rə·’ū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> To see the LORD’s יְהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel salvation, יְשׁוּעַ֣ת (yə·šū·‘aṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3444.htm">Strong's 3444: </a> Something saved, deliverance, aid, victory, prosperity which He will accomplish יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה (ya·‘ă·śeh) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make for you לָכֶ֖ם (lā·ḵem) Preposition | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> today; הַיּ֑וֹם (hay·yō·wm) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day for כִּ֗י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction the Egyptians אֲשֶׁ֨ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that you see today, רְאִיתֶ֤ם (rə·’î·ṯem) Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> To see you will never לֹ֥א (lō) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no see לִרְאֹתָ֥ם (lir·’ō·ṯām) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> To see again. תֹסִ֛יפוּ (ṯō·sî·p̄ū) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3254.htm">Strong's 3254: </a> To add, augment <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/exodus/14-13.htm">Exodus 14:13 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/exodus/14-13.htm">OT Law: Exodus 14:13 Moses said to the people Don't be (Exo.
