Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)
Cuando por fin el faraón dejó salir a los israelitas, Dios no los condujo a través de la tierra de los filisteos, aunque era la ruta más directa desde Egipto a la Tierra prometida. Dios no quería que el pueblo se desalentara al tener que pelear durante todo el camino, y deseara volverse a Egipto. Por eso los condujo por la ruta que está junto al Mar Rojo.
