Commentary on Exodus 13:18
The alternative route 'led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea' seems indirect but serves purposes—testing, training, revealing dependence on God. The phrase 'the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt' has ambiguous Hebrew ('chamushim,' חֲמֻשִׁים) meaning either 'armed' or 'organized by fifties.' Either way, it indicates order, not chaos. Wilderness path produces dependence that prosperity route wouldn't.
