17 And it shall be in Pharaoh's sending forth the people, and God directed not the way of the land of the Philistines, for it is near; for God said, Lest the people shall grieve in their seeing war, and they turn back to Egypt.

18 And God will turn the people about the way of the desert, the sea of sedge: and the sons of Israel went up active out of the land of Egypt.

19 And Moses will take the bones of Joseph with him: for swearing he caused the sons of Israel to swear, saying, For reviewing, God will review you; and carry up my bones with you from here.

20 And they will remove from Succoth, and they will encamp in Etham, in the extremity of the desert.

21 And Jehovah went before them the day in a pillar of cloud, to direct them the way; and the night in a pillar of fire to give light to them; to go the day and the night.

22 And the pillar of cloud will not give way, the day, and the pillar of fire, the night, before the people.
