This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
13:17 Led by cloud and fire
17 When Far’oh released the people, God didn’t lead them through the area occupied by 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.” 18 So God caused the people to take the path going towards the wilderness and the Red Sea.[fn] The Israeli left Egypt in formation as if ready for battle.
19 Mosheh ensured that Yosef’s bones were taken with them, because many years back Yosef had made the Israelis promise, saying, “God will certainly take notice of you all, and you must take my bones out from here with you.”[ref]
20 The people travelled on from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness. 21 During the day, Yahweh went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to lead them on the way, and at nighttime, he went in a pillar of fire to be light to them, so they could travel both in the daytime and at night. 22 The daytime pillar of cloud and the nighttime pillar of fire, didn’t ever leave their place ahead of the people.

Gen 50:25:
25 When God does that, you must take my body back to Canaan with you and bury it there.” Then Yosef had his brothers and the rest of the descendants of Yisra’el vow that they would do that.[ref]
Josh 24:32:
32 They buried Yosef’s bones (that they had carried out from Egypt) in Shekem—in the portion of the field that Yacob had bought from the sons of Hamor (Shekem’s father) for a hundred coins, and that land became the inheritance of Yosef’s descendants.[ref]
