Compare all

18 So God ^aled the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt.

19 And Moses took the ^abones of ^bJoseph with him, for he had placed the children of Israel under solemn oath, saying, ^c“God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here with you.”

20 So ^athey took their journey from ^bSuccoth and camped in Etham at the edge of the wilderness.

21 And ^athe Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.

22 He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people.

Exodus 13:20

Encamped in Etham - As for the reasons assigned on Exodus 13:17, God would not lead the Israelites by the way of the Philistines' country, he directed them towards the wilderness of Shur, Exodus 15:22, upon the edge or extremity of which, next to Egypt, at the bottom of the Arabian Gulf, lay Etham, which is the second place of encampment mentioned. See the extracts from Dr. Shaw at the end of Exodus. See Clarke' s note on Exodus 40:38.
