Numbers 33:1–15

A Summary of Israel’s Journeys after Leaving Egypt

¹This is a list of all the places where the Israelites set up camp after they left Egypt in organized groups under the leadership of Moses and Aaron. ²At the Lord’s command Moses wrote down the places where they went as they traveled. This is the list: 

³They moved from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after the Passover. The Israelites boldly left in full view of all the Egyptians. ⁴The Egyptians were burying all their firstborn sons, whom the Lord had killed in a mighty act of judgment on their gods. 

⁵The Israelites moved from Rameses and set up camp at Succoth. 

⁶They moved from Succoth and set up camp at Etham, on the edge of the desert. 

⁷They moved from Etham and turned back to Pi Hahiroth, east of Baal Zephon, and set up camp near Migdol. 

⁸They moved from Pi Hahiroth^aand went through the middle of the sea into the desert. After they traveled for three days in the Desert of Etham, they set up camp at Marah. 

⁹They moved from Marah and came to Elim. Elim had 12 springs and 70 palm trees, so they set up camp there. 

¹⁰They moved from Elim and set up camp by the Red Sea. 

¹¹They moved from the Red Sea and set up camp in the Desert of Sin. 

¹²They moved from the Desert of Sin and set up camp at Dophkah.
