¹⁹ And the Angel of God, ^(A)who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.

³⁴ Now therefore, go, lead the people to the place of which I have ^(A)spoken to you. ^(B)Behold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, ^(C)in the day when I ^(D)visit for punishment, I will visit punishment upon them for their sin.”

^16 (A)When we cried out to the Lord, He heard our voice and ^(B)sent the Angel and brought us up out of Egypt; now here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your border.

²¹ And ^(A)the 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.

The Angel and the Promises

^20 (A)“Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. ²¹ Beware of Him and obey His voice; ^(B)do not provoke Him, for He will ^(C)not pardon your transgressions; for ^(D)My name is in Him.

²⁴ Now it came to pass, in the morning ^(A)watch, that ^(B)the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He ^[a]troubled the army of the Egyptians.
