Exodus:13:17-15

*
And it came to pass ,
when Pharaoh had let the people go ,
that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines ,
although that was near ;
for God said ,
Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war ,
and they return to Egypt :
*
But God led the people about ,
through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea :
and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt .
*
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him :
for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel ,
saying ,
God will surely visit you ;
and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you .
*
And they took their journey from Succoth ,
and encamped in Etham ,
in the edge of the wilderness .
*
And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud ,
to lead them the way ;
and by night in a pillar of fire ,
to give them light ;
to go by day and night :
*
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day ,
nor the pillar of fire by night ,
from before the people .
