EXODUS—NOTE ON Exodus 13:17 Although the Lord has clearly shown that he can bring his people victoriously through the land of the Philistines, he mercifully chooses to take them on another route that will not lead to immediate armed conflict. However, this route will result in Israel being hemmed in between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army of chariots (see Exodus 14:5).
