OET (OET-RV) When Far’oh released the people, God didn’t lead them through the land of the Philistines, although that way was shorter, because he said, “It’s best if the people don’t have to face war immediately, or they might change their minds and then want to return to Egypt.”
Note 1 topic: writing-background
Verses 17–19 provide background information about the Israelites process of leaving Egypt. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information.
Note 2 topic: writing-newevent
וַיְהִ֗י
and=he/it_was
This marks the transition from instruction to narrative. You should mark the resumption of the narrative in a natural way in your language.
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
וְלֹא־נָחָ֣ם אֱלֹהִ֗ים דֶּ֚רֶךְ אֶ֣רֶץ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים כִּ֥י קָר֖וֹב ה֑וּא
and=not lead,them ʼₑlhīmv road/way_of earth/land Pelishtim that/for/because/then/when nearer he/it
The route on which God took the Israelites was not the expected route. In some languages you may need to put the portion that describes the expectation first. Alternate translation: “although it was nearby, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines.”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
פֶּֽן־יִנָּחֵ֥ם הָעָ֛ם בִּרְאֹתָ֥ם מִלְחָמָ֖ה וְשָׁ֥בוּ מִצְרָֽיְמָה
lest change_~_minds the,people in/on/at/with,face,they war and,return towards=Miʦrayim/(Egypt)
In some languages you may need to put the reason before the hypothetical result. Alternate translation: “When they see war, they may repent and return to Egypt”
13:17–14:4 The Lord’s redemptive power was demonstrated as he brought Israel into a place where they were completely helpless and had to either rely on him for rescue or die. Although at the time it must have seemed completely foolish, Israel would thank God for the rest of its history for maneuvering them into such a spot (see Ps 106:7-12; cp. Isa 12:2-6).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
