- જ્યારે ફારુને લોકોને જવા દીઘા ત્યારે એમ બન્યું કે પલિસ્તીઓના દેશમાં થઈને જવાનો રસ્તો ટૂંકો હોવા છતાં પણ તે રસ્તે તેઓને લઈ ગયા નહિ. કેમ કે યહોવાહે વિચાર્યું કે, “રખેને યુદ્ધ થાય અને લોકો પોતાનો વિચાર બદલી પાછા મિસર ચાલ્યા જાય.”
- हिन्दी — निर्गमन १३:१७
- जब फ़िरौन ने लोगों को जाने की आज्ञा दे दी, तब यद्यपि पलिश्तियों के देश में होकर जो मार्ग जाता है वह छोटा था; तो भी परमेश्वर यह सोचकर उनको उस मार्ग से नहीं ले गया कि कहीं ऐसा न हो कि जब ये लोग लड़ाई देखें तब पछताकर मिस्र को लौट आएँ।
