Exodus 13:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ They left Succoth and camped in Etham on the edge of the desert. ²¹ The Lord went before them as a pillar of cloud during the day to guide them on their way, and as a column of fire during the night to give them light, so that they could travel day and night. ²² During the day the pillar of cloud never disappeared from the sight of the people, nor did the column of fire during the night.
