Éxodo 13

And it cometh to pass in Pharaoh's sending the people away, that God hath not led them the way of the land of the Philistines, for it †is near; for God said, 'Lest the people repent in their seeing war, and have turned back towards Egypt;'

Y luego que Faraón dejó ir al pueblo, Dios no los llevó por el camino de la tierra de los Filisteos, que estaba cerca; porque dijo Dios: Que quizá no se arrepienta el pueblo cuando vieren la guerra, y se vuelvan á Egipto:

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
