When Pharao had let the people go, God carried them not thorow the
land of the Philistines, though it were a nye way. For God said:
the people might haply repent when they see war, and so turn again
to Egypt: therefore God led thee about thorow the wilderness that
bordereth on the red sea. The children of Israel went harnessed
out of the land of Egypt. And Moses took the bones of Ioseph with
him: for he made the children of Israel swear saying: God will
surely visit you, take my bones therefore away hence with you. And
they took their journey from Sucoth: and pitched their tents in
Etham in the edge of the wilderness. 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. And the pillar of the cloud never departed by day
nor the pillar of fire by night out of the people's sight.
Chapter .xiiij.
Then the LORD spake unto Moses saying: bid the children of Israel
that they turn and pitch their tents before the entering of Hiroth
between Migdol and the sea toward Baal Zephon: even before that
shall ye pitch upon the sea. For Pharao will say of the children
of Israel: they are tangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut
them in.
