16 Serte ha, pues, como una señal sobre tu mano, y por una memoria delante de tus ojos; ya que Jehová nos sacó de Egipto con mano fuerte.

17 Y luego que Faraón dejó ir al pueblo, Dios no los llevó por el camino de la tierra de los Filisteos, que estaba cerca; porque dijo Dios: Que quizá no se arrepienta el pueblo cuando vieren la guerra, y se vuelvan á Egipto:

18 Mas hizo Dios al pueblo que rodease por el camino del desierto del mar Bermejo. Y subieron los hijos de Israel de Egipto armados.

19 Tomó también consigo Moisés los huesos de José, el cual había juramentado á los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Dios ciertamente os visitará, y haréis subir mis huesos de aquí con vosotros.

20 Y partidos de Succoth, asentaron campo en Etham, á la entrada del desierto.
