Exodus 13:17-22

17Now when PharaohH6547 had letH7971 the peopleH5971 goH7971, GodH430 did not leadH5148 them by the wayH1870 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, evenH3588 thoughH3588 it was nearH7138; for GodH430 saidH559, “1The peopleH5971 mightH6435 changeH5162 their mindsH5162 when they seeH7200 warH4421, and returnH7725 to EgyptH4714.”

18Hence GodH430 ledH5437 the peopleH5971 aroundH5437 by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057 to the 2RedH5488H3220 SeaH3220; and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 up 3in martialH2571 arrayH2571 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

19MosesH4872 tookH3947 4the bonesH6106 of JosephH3130 with him, for he had made the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 solemnlyH7650 swearH7650, sayingH559, “GodH430 will surelyH6485 5takeH6485 careH6485 of you, and you shall carryH5927 my bonesH6106 from hereH2088 with you.”

20Then they setH5265 out from 6SuccothH5523 and campedH2583 in EthamH864 on the edgeH7097 of the wildernessH4057.

217The LordH3068 was goingH1980 beforeH6440 them in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 by dayH3119 to leadH5148 them on the wayH1870, and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915 to giveH215 them lightH215, that they might 8travelH1980 by dayH3119 and by nightH3915.

229He 10did not takeH4185 awayH4185 the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 by dayH3119, norH3808 the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, from beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
