Nombres 33:3 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 33:3

And they departed from Rameses
A city in Egypt, where the children of Israel, a little before their departure, seem to have been gathered together in a body, in order to march out all together, as they did. This place the Targum of Jonathan calls Pelusium. Dr. Shaw

FOOTNOTES:

F1 thinks it might be Cairo, from whence they set forward; see ( Exodus 12:37 ) and it was

in the first month;
in the month Nisan, as the same Targum, or Abib, which was appointed the first month on this account, and answers to part of our March and April:

on the fifteenth of the first month, on the morrow after the passover;
that was kept on the fourteenth, when the Lord passed over the houses of the Israelites, and slew all the firstborn in Egypt, which made way for their departure the next morning; the Egyptians being urgent upon them to be gone:

the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all
the Egyptians;
openly and publicly, with great courage and boldness, without any fear of their enemies; who seeing them march out, had no power to stop them, or to move their lips at them, nay, were willing to be rid of them; see ( Exodus 11:7 ) ( 12:33 ) .

Nombres 33:3 In-Context

1 Voici les stations des enfants d'Israël qui sortirent du pays d'Egypte, selon leurs corps d'armée, sous la conduite de Moïse et d'Aaron.

2 Moïse écrivit leurs marches de station en station, d'après l'ordre de l'Eternel. Et voici leurs stations, selon leurs marches.

3 Ils partirent de Ramsès le premier mois, le quinzième jour du premier mois. Le lendemain de la Pâque, les enfants d'Israël sortirent la main levée, à la vue de tous les Egyptiens.

4 Et les Egyptiens enterraient ceux que l'Eternel avait frappés parmi eux, tous les premiers-nés; l'Eternel exerçait aussi des jugements contre leurs dieux.

5 Les enfants d'Israël partirent de Ramsès, et campèrent à Succoth.
