Joshua 24:5
Hebrew Bible
4 and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I assigned Mount Seir, while Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt. 5 I sent Moses and Aaron, and I struck Egypt down when I intervened in their land. Then I brought you out. 6 When I brought your fathers out of Egypt, you arrived at the sea. The Egyptians chased your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.

4 and Isaac, Jacob and Esau. I gave Esau the mountain of Seir for him to inherit, and Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt and became there as a great nation, many and strong, and the Egyptians afflicted them. 5 And he struck Egypt by what he did to them, and after this he brought 6 our fathers out from Egypt. And you went into the Red Sea, and the Egyptians closely pursued after our fathers in chariots and on horses into the Red Sea.
