19 Moses took Joseph's bones with him. Joseph had made the Israelites promise to do this. He had said, ‘One day, God will come and he will save you. Then you must carry my bones with you when you leave this place.’[a]
20 The Israelites travelled from Succoth and they arrived at Etham. They put up their tents there, on the edge of the desert.
