1. As Israel travelled from Egypt under the command of Moses and Aaron,
2. Moses kept a list of the places where they camped, just as the Lord had instructed. Here is the record of their journey:
3-4. Israel left the Egyptian city of Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month. This was the day after the Lord had punished Egypt's gods by killing the firstborn sons in every Egyptian family. So while the Egyptians were burying the bodies, they watched the Israelites proudly leave their country.
5. After the Israelites left Rameses, they camped at Succoth,
6. and from there, they moved their camp to Etham on the edge of the desert.
7. Then they turned back towards Pi-Hahiroth, east of Baal-Zephon, and camped near Migdol.
8. They left Pi-Hahiroth, crossed the Red Sea, then walked three days into the Etham Desert and camped at Marah.
9. Next, they camped at Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees.
10. They left Elim and camped near the Red Sea,
11. then turned east and camped along the western edge of the Sinai Desert.
