Exodus 13:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 And it shall be as a token upon thine hand, and as [a]frontlets between thine eyes, that the Lord brought us out of Egypt by a mighty hand.
17 ¶ Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, God carried them not by the way of the Philistines’ country, [b]though it were nearer: (for God said, Lest the people repent when they [c]see war, and turn again to Egypt).
18 But God made the people to go about by the way of the wilderness of the red sea: and the children of Israel went up [d]armed out of the land of Egypt.

16 And it will be like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead(A) that the Lord brought us out of Egypt with his mighty hand.”
Crossing the Sea
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”(B) 18 So God led(C) the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea.[a] The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle.(D)
