Exodus 13:19
"but God led the people around by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt."
Key Reflection
The verse from Exodus 13:19 describes how, after crossing the Red Sea, God led the Israelites through the wilderness, guiding them on a detour rather than taking the more direct route to Canaan. This detour was not just a logistical decision but likely aimed at preserving the Israelites and preparing them for their journey ahead, ensuring they were ready and armed as they left the land of Egypt.
