Exodus 13:17-22
The Pillars of Cloud and Fire

17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not [through] the way of the land of the Philistines, although that [was] near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:

17:

18 But God led the people about, [through] the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

18:

19 And 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.

19:

20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

20:

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; to go by day and night:

21:

22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, [from] before the people.

22:
