Exodus 13:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ “And it shall be as a sign upon your hand, and as frontlets between your eyes, that the LORD brought us out of Egypt by a mighty hand.”

¹⁷ Now, when Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not carry them by the way of the Philistines’ country, though it were nearer. (For God said, ‘Lest the people repent when they see war, and turn again to Egypt’).

¹⁸ But God made the people go by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in battle array, out of the land of Egypt.
