The Targum Pseudo-Jonathan on Exodus 14:2 turns a navigational instruction into a theological ambush. God tells Israel to turn around and camp before the "Mouths of Hiratha"—gaping stone formations shaped like the children of men, male and female, their eyes wide open. The place was called Tanes, between Migdol and the sea.
And right there, looming over the camp, stood Baal Zephon—the one Egyptian idol that had not been destroyed in the plagues. Every other Egyptian god had been smashed by the ten blows. Only Zephon was left standing.
The Targum explains God's tactical reasoning. The Egyptians, seeing Zephon intact while every other idol lay in ruins, would conclude that Zephon was the most powerful god in Egypt. Zephon, they would say, has trapped the Hebrews against the sea. They would hurry out to worship it—and find Israel camped at its feet, exposed.
Then God would drown the army of Egypt in full view of its last surviving idol. The theological message was engineered with precision: even your strongest god cannot save you. The sea that Israel crosses and Egypt does not cross is the verdict on the entire pantheon.
Takeaway: the Targum teaches that God sometimes leaves one false god standing so that He can refute it in public.
