And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
So when the two groups came into view of each other, Moses’s people said, “we are definitely going to be captured!” When Pharaoh and his people drew closer to Moses and his people, such that each person was in view of the other on the opposite side, Moses’s people said, “Indeed, Pharaoh and his people will catch up with us and we are powerless against them.”
