1These are the journeys of the Israelites when they came out of the land of Egypt by their divisions under the leadership of Moses and Aaron. 2At YHVH’s command, Moses recorded the stages of their journey. These are the stages listed by their starting points:
3On the fifteenth day of the first month, on the day after the Pesach, the Israelites set out from Rameses. They marched out defiantlya in full view of all the Egyptians, 4who were burying all their firstborn, whom YHVH had struck down among them; for YHVH had executed judgment against their gods. 5The Israelites set out from Rameses and camped at Succoth.
6They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham, on the edge of the wilderness.
7They set out from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon, and they camped near Migdol.
8They set out from Pi-hahirothb and crossed through the sea, into the wilderness, and they journeyed three days into the Wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah.
Numbers 33:1-8
22Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert without finding water. 23And when they came to Marah,c they could not drink the water there because it was bitter. (That is why it was named Marah.)
24So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?” 25And Moses cried out to YHVH, and YHVH showed him a log. And when he cast it into the waters, they were sweetened.
There YHVH made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them,26saying, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of YHVH your Elohim, and do what is right in His eyes, and pay attention to His commands, and keep all His statutes, then I will not bring on you any of the diseases I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am YHVH who heals you.”
