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.”

CLV Igitur cum emisisset Pharao populum, non eos duxit Deus per viam terræ Philisthiim quæ vicina est: reputans ne forte pœniteret eum, si vidisset adversum se bella consurgere, et reverteretur in Ægyptum.[fn]

13.17 Igitur cum emisisset, etc. GREG. lib. XXIV Moral. cap. 13. Sæpe conversi in ipso aditu suæ conversionis tranquillitatem carnis, dona prophetiæ, prædicamenta doctrinæ, signorum miracula vel gratiam curationum accipiunt. Postea duris tentationum probationibus fatigantur, a quibus liberos se esse credebant: quia si in principio tentationum amaritudo pulsaret, facile ad vitia redirent, a quibus non longe recesserunt. De Ægypto ergo exeuntibus e vicino bella subtrahuntur: quia relinquentibus sæculum quædam prius tranquillitas ostenditur, ne in ipsa teneritudine et inchoatione turbati, ad hoc quod reliquerant, redeant: prius ergo suavitatem securitatis sentiunt, prius pacis quiete nutriuntur; post cognitam vero dulcedinem tanto tolerabilius tentationum certamina sustinent quanto in Deo altius cognoverunt quæ ament.

BRN And when Pharao sent forth the people, God led them not by the way of the land of the Phylistines, because it was near; for God said, Lest at any time the people repent when they see war, and return to Egypt.
BrLXX Ὡς δὲ ἐξαπέστειλε Φαραὼ τὸν λαὸν, οὐχ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς ὁδὸν γῆς· Φυλιστιεὶμ, ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἦν· εἶπε γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς, μήποτε μεταμελήσῃ τῷ λαῷ ἰδόντι πόλεμον, καὶ ἀποστρέψῃ εἰς Αἴγυπτον.

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 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

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.”

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”
