UEksodusi 13:17-22

Kwathi uFaro esebayekele abantu bahambe, uNkulunkulu kabaholanga ngendlela yelizwe lamaFilisti, lanxa yayiseduze; ngoba uNkulunkulu wathi: Ukuze abantu bangaphenduki nxa bebona impi babuyele eGibhithe. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wabajikelezisa abantu endleleni eya ehlane loLwandle LwaseShelefu; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuphuka ezweni laseGibithe. Khona-ke uMose wathatha amathambo kaJosefa wahamba nawo, ngoba wayebafungile abantwana bakwa-Israyeli wathi: “Impela uNkulunkulu uzonilalela; futhi niyothwala amathambo ami nisuke lapha nani. Basuka eSukoti bamisa inkamba e-Etamu ekugcineni kwehlane. UJehova wahamba phambi kwabo emini ngensika yefu ukubahola endleleni; nasensikeni yomlilo ebusuku ukubakhanyisela; ukuhamba imini nobusuku: Akazange asuse insika yefu emini noma insika yomlilo ebusuku phambi kwabantu.
