Exodus 13:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ God guided the people along the desert road toward the Red Sea. The children of Israel, well armed, left the land of Egypt.

¹⁹ Moses took the bones of Joseph along with him, for Joseph had solemnly sworn the children of Israel, saying, “Surely God will come to visit you, and when he does you must carry away my bones.”

²⁰ They left Succoth and camped in Etham on the edge of the desert.
