Exodus:13:17-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then it came to pass ,
when Pharaoh had let the people go ,
that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines ,
although that was near ;
for God said , "
Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war ,
and return to Egypt ."
*
So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea .
And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt .
*
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him ,
for he had placed the children of Israel under solemn oath ,
saying , "
God will surely visit you ,
and you shall carry up my bones from here with you ."
*
So they took their journey from Succoth and camped in Etham at the edge of the wilderness .
*
And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way ,
and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light ,
so as to go by day and night .
*
He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people .
