The Egyptians encamped at ____ when they pursued the Israelites
Answer Details
The Egyptians encamped at Pi-ha-hi-roth when they pursued the Israelites.
To understand this, we need to go back to the story of the Exodus in the Bible. According to the book of Exodus, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt and God chose Moses to lead them out of slavery and into the promised land. After a series of plagues and miracles, the Pharaoh finally let the Israelites go.
However, soon after leaving Egypt, the Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued the Israelites with his army. The Israelites were trapped between the pursuing army and the Red Sea, but God miraculously parted the sea and allowed the Israelites to pass through safely.
After the Israelites had crossed the Red Sea, the pursuing Egyptian army followed them into the sea, but God caused the waters to return and drown the army. The Bible says that the Egyptians encamped at Pi-ha-hi-roth before pursuing the Israelites, so that is where they were when they were drowned in the Red Sea.
