לִ⁠פְנ֥וֹת בֹּ֨קֶר֙

Here, before the face of means “before the occurrence of.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [before it was morning]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

and,he_shook_off YHWH DOM from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim/(Egypt))s in_the=middle the=sea

Here, Yahweh is pictured as acting toward the Egyptians as if they were dirt or dust on his clothing that he shakes to be rid of them. If your readers would not understand what this image means in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and Yahweh threw the Egyptians back into the middle of the sea]
