 Sorry to disagree. The Bible states as the reason: (Exodus, somwhere in the

13th or 14th chapter, Idon't have the source at my side ) that G-D led the
people away from the Philisteens (P'lishtim)because they were too close and
if the Israelites (or Jews, whichever you prefer) saw an army they would
run back to the security of ( their masters in ) Egypt. Therefore, He led
them into the wilderness ( the translation from the original hebrew is not
an exact one but it tells the story ).
