'Roundabout' in the Bible
So God led the people the roundabout way of the desert toward the Reed Sea. The Israelis went up from the land of Egypt in military formation.
“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath,In the days of Jael, the highways were deserted,And travelers went by roundabout ways.
So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom by a roundabout way for seven days: and there was no water for the army or for the beasts they had with them.
