U-Eksodusi 13:17-22

Kwathi uFaro esebavumele abantu ukuba bahambe, uNkulunkulu akabaholanga ngendlela yasezweni lamaFilisti, noma kwakuyiyona eseduze; ngokuba uNkulunkulu wathi: “Funa mhlawumbe abantu bazisole, nxa bebona impi, babuyele eGibithe.” Kepha uNkulunkulu wabagwegwisa abantu ngendlela yasehlane ngaseLwandle Olubomvu; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuphuka ezweni laseGibithe behlomile. UMose wathatha amathambo kaJosefa, wahamba nawo, ngokuba wayebafungisile nokubafungisa abakwa-Israyeli, ethi: “Impela uNkulunkulu uyakunihambela nokunihambela, nikhuphule lapha amathambo ami kanye nani.” Basuka eSukoti; baya bamisa e-Etamu eceleni kwehlane. UJehova wahamba phambi kwabo emini ngensika yefu eyobahola endleleni, nasebusuku ngensika yomlilo eyobakhanyisela ukuba bahambe imini nobusuku. Insika yefu emini nensika yomlilo ebusuku ayisukanga ebusweni babantu.
