Recounting Israel's Journey

1 These are the stages of the people of Israel, when they went out of the land of Egypt by their companies under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.
2 Moses wrote down their starting places, 1stage by stage, by command of the LORD, and these are their stages according to their starting places.
3 They 2set out from Rameses in 3the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the day after the Passover, the people of Israel went out 4triumphantly in the sight of all the Egyptians,
4 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, 5whom the LORD had struck down among them. 6On their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
5 So the people of Israel set out from Rameses and camped at 7Succoth.
6 And they set out from Succoth and camped at 8Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness.
