Exodus 13:17-22 - Summary Of Travel
17 When Pharaoh had let the people go, God carried them not through the land of the Philistines, though it were a nigh way. For God said, "The people might haply repent when they see war, and so turn again to Egypt." 18 Therefore God led them about through the wilderness that bordereth on the reed sea. The children of Israel went harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he made the children of Israel swear, saying, "God will surely visit you, take my bones therefore away hence with you."
20 And they took their journey from Succoth: and pitched their tents in Etham in the edge of the wilderness. 21 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: that they might go both by day and night. 22 And the pillar of the cloud never departed by day nor the pillar of fire by night out of the people's sight.
