Review of the Journey from Egypt to Jordan

1 These are the journeys of the sons of Israel, by which they came out from the land of Egypt by their armies, under 1the leadership of Moses and Aaron.
2 Moses recorded their starting places according to their journeys by the command of the LORD, and these are their journeys according to their starting places.
3 2They journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth * day of the first month; on the next day after the Passover the sons of Israel 3started out boldly * in the sight of all the Egyptians,
4 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn whom the LORD had struck down among them. The LORD had also executed judgments 4on their gods.
5 Then 5the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses and camped in Succoth.
6 6They journeyed from Succoth and camped in Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness.
7 7They journeyed from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which faces * Baal-zephon, and they camped before Migdol.
8 8They journeyed from before Hahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness; and 9they went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah.
