Then we departed from the river of Ahava, on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem, etc.] The month Nisan, answering to part of March and part of April; this was two days before the passover began: and the hand of our God was upon us; guiding, directing, and protecting them by his providence: and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way; either by intimidating them, that they dared not attack them, or by directing them to take a different road, whereby they escaped them, (see <150822> Ezra 8:22).
