Exodus 13:16-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 So (A)it shall [a]serve as a sign on your hand and as [b]phylacteries [c]on your forehead, for with a [d]powerful hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.”
God Leads the People
17 Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, even though it was near; for God said, “(B)The people might change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.” 18 Hence God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the [e]Red Sea; and the sons of Israel went up (C)in martial array from the land of Egypt.
