Journey of Israel Through The Desert: Under God's Protection

And the angel of God, who had gone before the camp of Israel, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from before them and stood behind them,

…so that it came between the camps of Egypt and Israel. The cloud was there in the darkness, but it lit up the night. So all night long neither camp went near the other.

He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.

Behold, I am sending an angel before you to protect you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.

He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.
