Exodus 13:19-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁹ Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, because Joseph had made the Israelites solemnly swear to do this. Joseph had said, “God will definitely come to help you. When he does, take my bones with you.”

²⁰ They moved from Succoth and camped at Etham, on the edge of the desert. ²¹ By day the Lord went ahead of them in a column of smoke to lead them on their way. By night he went ahead of them in a column of fire to give them light so that they could travel by day or by night.
