Exodus:13:17-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
When Pharaoh let the people go ,
God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines ,
although that was near ;
for God said , "
Lest the people repent when they see war ,
and return to Egypt ."
*
But God led the people round by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea .
And the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle .
*
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him ;
for Joseph had solemnly sworn the people of Israel ,
saying , "
God will visit you ;
then you must carry my bones with you from here ."
*
And they moved on from Succoth ,
and encamped at Etham ,
on the edge of the wilderness .
*
And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way ,
and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light ,
that they might travel by day and by night ;
*
the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people .
