and he left them
To guide, lead, or conduct someone or something, typically along a path or toward a destination. The term often implies intentional direction by a person or divine agent, and can be used both literally (leading along a physical path) or metaphorically (guiding morally, spiritually, or in judgment). In some contexts, especially in the exilic or post-exilic periods, it may also carry the sense of transporting or bringing someone, particularly with reference to deportation or forced movement.
