For while they were still engaged in mourning, and were lamenting at the graves of their dead, they reached another foolish decision, and pursued as fugitives those whom they had begged and compelled to leave.
While the Egyptians were still mourning at the graves of their dead, they forgot why all this had happened, and they foolishly decided that the people they had begged to leave were runaways. So they chased after them. They were led into this as part of the punishment they deserved, so that they would suffer the rest of the torments they were due to receive.
For they having yet mourning betwixt the hands, and they beweeping at the sepulchres of dead men, took to them(selves) another thought of uncunning, (or of unknowing, or of ignorance); and they pursued those Hebrews, as fleers away, which they praying had sent forth. [Yet forsooth among the hands having wailing, and weeping at the monuments of the dead, another thinking of uncunning they took to them; and whom praying they had thrown away, them as fugitives they pursued.]

For while they were still engaged in funeral rites and mourning at the burials of the dead, They adopted another senseless plan: those whom they had driven out with entreaties they now pursued as fugitives.
