Ill-THE PILLAR OF THE CLOUD. OSES proved by many mar-velous works that the Lordwas with him. The kingof Egypt, believing thatGod gave Moses greatpower, at length permittedthe children of Israel tofollow Moses out of thecity. They went with hima long journey, and the angel of the Lord went beforethem by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them the way;and by night in a pillar of fire to give them Egyptians followed them in six hundred chosenchariots and many other less costly ones, and with thesewere all the kings horsemen and all his army, and theking himself in the midst of them. When the Hebrew children saw this host they weresore afraid. They blamed Moses for bringing themaway from Egypt. They said they would rather livein bondage to the Egyptians than die in the wildernesswith Moses. But Moses told his people to fear not,but to stand still and see what the Lord would showthem.
