33These were the journeys of the Israelites,^a who went out from the land of Egypt according to their divisions, by the hand of Moses and Aaron. ²Moses wrote down their movements according to their journeys on the command of Yahweh, and these are their journeys according to their movements. ³They set out from Rameses on the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the next day after the Passover the Israelites^b went out boldly^c in the sight^d of all the Egyptians ⁴while the Egyptians were burying all the firstborn among them whom Yahweh struck. Yahweh also executed punishments among their gods.

⁵Then the Israelites^e set out from Rameses, and they camped in Succoth. ⁶They journeyed from Succoth and camped in Etham, which is on the edge of the desert. ⁷Then they set out from Etham and returned to Pi-Hahiroth, which faces Baal Zephon, and they camped before Migdol. ⁸They set out from Pi-Hahiroth and went through the midst of the sea into the desert; and they went a journey of three days into the desert of Etham and camped at Marah. ⁹They set out from Marah and came to Elim, and in Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there. ¹⁰They set out from Elim, and they camped at the Red Sea.^f ¹¹They set out from the Red Sea^g and camped at the desert of Sin. ¹²They set out from the desert of Sin and camped at Dophkah. ¹³They set out from Dophkah and camped at Alush. ¹⁴They set out from Alush and encamped at Rephidim; and it was there that the people had no water to drink. ¹⁵They set out from Rephidim and camped in the desert of Sinai.
