He had said, "God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up with you from this place." | 19Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones with you from here.” | 19Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, "God will surely take care of you, and you shall carry my bones from here with you." | 19And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you. | 19Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, because Joseph had made the Israelites swear a solemn oath, saying, "God will certainly come to your aid; then you must take my bones with you from this place." |
| 20After leaving Sukkoth they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert. | 20And they moved on from Succoth and encamped at Etham, on the edge of the wilderness. | 20Then they set out from Succoth and camped in Etham on the edge of the wilderness. | 20And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. | 20They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness. |
| 21By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. | 21And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. | 21The LORD was going before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead them on the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. | 21And 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; to go by day and night: | 21The LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to lead them on their way during the day and in a pillar of fire to give them light at night, so that they could travel day or night. |
| 22Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people. | 22The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people. | 22He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people. | 22He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people. | 22The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night never left its place in front of the people. |
