God had compassion on the suffering of the enslaved
Israelites, and so God chose Moses to free the people from slavery. Terrible plagues ravaged Egypt, and in
the midst of them, Moses led the Israelites out of the land of bondage. "The Lord went in front of them in
a pillar of cloud by day, to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire
by night, to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night." Then, even though Pharoah had said that
the Israelites could go, he changed his mind and sent an army to capture them
and bring them back to slavery.
The pillar of cloud and fire moved behind the Israelites to protect them
from the pursuing army.
