God Leads the People out of Egypt
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, Elohim didn’t lead them on the road through Philistine territory, although that was the shortest route. Elohim said, “If they see that they have to fight a war, they may change their minds and go back to Egypt.” 18 So Elohim led the people around the other way, on the road through the desert toward the Red Sea. The Israelites were ready for battle when they left Egypt.
