In context
11So the king of Egypt rose against them. He outwitted them with forced labor and brickmaking; he ground them down and reduced them to slaves. 12They cried out to their God, and he struck the entire land of Egypt with blows that had no cure. And the Egyptians drove them out of their sight. 13God dried up the Red Sea in front of them, 14and led them along the road to Sinai and Kadesh-barnea, and they drove out everyone living in the wilderness. 15They made their home in Amorite country and by their own strength wiped out every last man of Heshbon; then they crossed the Jordan and took the whole hill country for their inheritance.
