“Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.”
King James Version (KJV)
9:17 Made - Designed, and resolved to do so, #Numb 14:4|, and therefore they are said to do so, as Abraham is said to have offered up Isaac, #Heb 11:17|, because he intended to do it.
