Exodus 13:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ So God led the people toward the Red Sea by taking them on a road through the desert. The Israelites were ready for battle when they went up out of Egypt.

¹⁹ Moses took the bones of Joseph along with him. Joseph had made the Israelites give their word to do this. He had said, “God will surely come to help you. When he does, you must carry my bones up from this place with you.” (Genesis 50:25)

²⁰ The people left Sukkoth. They camped at Etham on the edge of the desert.
