Context — Pharaoh Pursues the Israelites

11They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us into the wilderness to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? 12Did we not say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”

13But Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the LORD’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.

14The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” 15Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward.

Exodus 14:13 Summary

Exodus 14:13 is a powerful reminder that God is our deliverer and salvation. When we are faced with fear and uncertainty, we can trust in God's power and promises, just like the Israelites did when they were trapped between the Red Sea and the Egyptian army. As it says in Psalm 27:1, 'The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?', we can stand firm in our faith, knowing that God will accomplish His plans for us, and we can be still and let Him fight for us, as encouraged in Exodus 14:14 (see also Romans 8:31). By trusting in God, we can experience His salvation and deliverance in our lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to 'stand firm' in Exodus 14:13?

To stand firm means to trust in God's power and promises, even when circumstances seem overwhelming, as seen in Psalm 46:1-3, where God is our refuge and strength in times of trouble.

How can we be sure of God's salvation in our lives?

We can be sure of God's salvation because He is faithful to His promises, as stated in Deuteronomy 7:9, and He will accomplish His plans for us, just as He did for the Israelites in Exodus 14:13.

Why did Moses tell the people not to be afraid?

Moses told the people not to be afraid because he wanted them to trust in God's power and deliverance, rather than giving in to fear and doubt, as encouraged in Isaiah 41:10, where God tells us to fear not, for He is with us.

What does it mean that the Egyptians would 'never be seen again'?

This means that God would completely deliver the Israelites from their enemies, just as He promised in Exodus 14:13, and the Egyptians would no longer be a threat to them, as seen in the outcome of the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus 14:21-31.

Gill's Exposition on Exodus 14:13

And Moses said unto the people,.... Not in wrath and anger, but very coolly and sedately, agreeably to his character of the meekest man on earth; though what they had said to him was very insulting

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 14:13

And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 14:13

Stand still; Heb. make yourselves to stand; let not and your hearts fail and sink, or stagger through unbelief, but with quiet minds look up to God. It notes the frame of their minds, not the posture of their bodies. Whom ye have seen; or, as ye have seen them, to wit, alive and armed, ready to devour you; for otherwise they did see them dead, and disarmed, .

Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 14:13

Exodus 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.Ver. 13. Stand still, and see the salvation.] Thus God "heard their cry at the Red Sea," though it were not the cry of faith, but of fright and perturbation. So he "heard the voice of the lad."

Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 14:13

(13, 14) Fear ye not, stand still.—There are times when all our strength must be “in quietness and confidence” (Isaiah 30:15). 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. 2 Chronicles 20:17.) 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 Exodus 14:30). The reference is to the present time only, not to the future relations of the two peoples.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 14:13

Verse 13. Moses said - Fear ye not] This exhortation was not given to excite them to resist, for of that there was no hope; they were unarmed, they had no courage, and their minds were deplorably degraded. Stand still] Ye shall not be even workers together with God; only be quiet, and do not render yourselves wretched by your fears and your confusion. See the salvation of the Lord] Behold the deliverance which God will work, independently of all human help and means. Ye shall see them again no more] Here was strong faith, but this was accompanied by the spirit of prophecy. God showed Moses what he would do, he believed, and therefore he spoke in the encouraging manner related above.

Cambridge Bible on Exodus 14:13

13. stand still] rather, stand firm, without fleeing; cf. Deuteronomy 7:24; Deuteronomy 11:25, 2 Samuel 21:5. Comp. the quotation in 2 Chronicles 20:17 (EVV. set yourselves [not ‘stand still’]). salvation] The Heb. word is used here in its original etym. sense—which, as Arabic shews, was properly breadth, spaciousness, freedom—of a material deliverance; so Exodus 1 Samuel 14:45, Psalms 3:2 (EVV. help), 8 (see RVm.), Psalms 18:50, Psalms 28:8, Job 30:15 (EVV. welfare), Isaiah 26:18, &c. Elsewhere in the prophets and Psalms the word often implies spiritual blessings as well. Cf. the writer’s Parallel Psalter, p. 455 f. 13b. The marg. gives the correct meaning.

Barnes' Notes on Exodus 14:13

For the Egyptians whom ... - The true sense is, ye shall never see the Egyptians in the same way, under the same circumstances.

Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 14:13

13. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord — Moses rises to the height of the occasion; his faith is mighty, but he cannot see how salvation is to come.
