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