Leading" people in the Bible is about leading people in spiritual things, not natural ones. When the Bible talks about the Lord leading the people, it stands for that way He cares for us, from the most outward aspect of life down to the deepest recesses. All His leading intends to bring us to heaven, if we choose to follow.

7235. 'Lead the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt' means that those who belonged to the Lord's spiritual kingdom were to be delivered, that is to say, from close proximity to those steeped in falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'leading out' as delivering; from the representation of the 'children of Israel' as those who belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom, dealt with in 6426, 6637, and also in 6862, 6868, 7075, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223; and from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as the place where the falsities are which are used to carry out molestations.
