Jared and his group gathered a bunch of supplies then went out to meet the Lord, who led them through the wilderness. They had to build barges a few times to cross bodies of waters, and then they came to the sea. They stayed there for a few years, and then Jared's brother got chastised by the Lord for not seeking further direction. After that, he was directed to build some more barges to cross the sea, but he had a few concerns: how would they breathe during such a long journey, and how would they see? The Lord taught him how to cut stoppable holes for air but left the light conundrum up to him.
