Exodus 13:17-22 - Summary Of Travel
17 And it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead by the land-way of the Philistines, although it was near, - for God said - Lest the people be dismayed when they see war and turn back to Egypt. 18 So God took the people round the desert-way of the Red Sea, - and the sons of Israel went up armed, out of the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph, with him, - for he had, taken an oath, of the sons of Israel saying, God will, surely visit, you, so then ye shall carry up my bones from hence with you.
20 And they brake up from Succoth, - and encamped in Etham, at the edge of the desert. 21 Now, Yahweh, was going before them - by day, in a pillar of cloud to lead them the way, and by night, in a pillar of fire to give them light, - that they might journey day and night: 22 the pillar of cloud by day ceased not, nor the pillar of fire by night, - from before the people.
