וַיֹּ֨אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֣ה אֶל־הָעָם֮ אַל־תִּירָאוּ֒ הִֽתְיַצְב֗וּ וּרְאוּ֙ אֶת־יְשׁוּעַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה לָכֶ֖ם הַיּ֑וֹם כִּ֗י אֲשֶׁ֨ר רְאִיתֶ֤ם אֶת־מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ הַיּ֔וֹם לֹ֥א תֹסִ֛יפוּ לִרְאֹתָ֥ם ע֖וֹד עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃
Moïse répondit au peuple: "Soyez sans crainte! Attendez, et vous serez témoins de l’assistance que l’Éternel vous procurera en ce jour! Certes, si vous avez vu les Égyptiens aujourd’hui, vous ne les reverrez plus jamais.
Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah
Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai said, at three places were Israel warned not to return to the land of Egypt, [as it is written:] for as you saw Egypt today you shall nevermore see them for ever31Ex. 14:13.. And the Eternal said to you, you shall never again return on this way32Deut. 17:16.. And the Eternal will bring you back to Egypt on ships33Deut. 28:68.. In all three cases they returned and in all three cases they fell. One in the days of Sanherib the king of Assyria, [as it is written]: woe on those who descend to Egypt for help34Is. 31:1.. What is written after this? But Egypt is human and not god, and their horses are flesh, etc34Is. 31:3.. And one in the days of Joḥanan the son of the bald; it shall be that the sword which you are fearing, there will reach you35Jer. 42:16.. And once in the days of the evil Trajanus.
