How preachers through history handled this text
10 public-domain excerpts on Exodus 13, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The Lord went before them in a pillar, or appearance of the Divine Majesty. Christ was with the church in the wilderness, 1Co 10:9. Those whom God brings into a wilderness, he will not leave nor lose there, but will take care to lead them through it. It was great satisfaction to Moses and the pious Israelites, to be sure that they were under Divine guidance. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Exodus 13:21–35 (Public Domain)
