16 Only he should not increase horses for himself,+ nor make the people go back to Egypt in order to increase horses;+ whereas Jehovah has said to YOU, ‘YOU must never go back again by this way.’

7 Immediately they got up and went fleeing in the evening darkness+ and leaving their tents and their horses+ and their asses—the camp just as it was—and they kept fleeing for their soul.*+

31 The horse is something prepared for the day of battle,+ but salvation belongs to Jehovah.+

31 Woe to those going down to Egypt for assistance,+ those who rely on mere horses,+ and who put their trust in war chariots,+ because they are numerous, and in steeds,* because they are very mighty, but who have not looked to the Holy One of Israel and have not searched for Jehovah himself.+

3 As·syrʹi·a itself will not save us.+ Upon horses we shall not ride.+ And no more shall we say: “O our God!” to the work of our hands, because it is by you that a fatherless boy is shown mercy.’+
