Exodus 13:16-18

Names of God Bible

¹⁶ So this festival will be like a mark on your hand and like a band on your forehead, because Yahweh used his mighty hand to bring us out of Egypt.”

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.
