Numbers 33:1 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 33:1

These are the journeys of the children of Israel
Which are related in this chapter following:

which went forth out of the land of Egypt:
whither their fathers went and stayed, and were kept in hard bondage, but in due time were delivered from it, and came out from thence:

with their armies;
in great numbers, and in an orderly manner, in rank and file, and like so many squadrons, see ( Exodus 7:4 ) , under the hand of Moses and Aaron: who were sent to the king of Egypt to require their dismission, and who were the instruments under God of their deliverance, and were the leaders of them; as of them out of Egypt, so through the wilderness, in their, several journeys here recorded.

Numbers 33:1 In-Context

1 These are the stages by which the Israelites went out of the land of Egypt in military formation under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.

2 Moses wrote down their starting points, stage by stage, by command of the Lord; and these are their stages according to their starting places.

3 They set out from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the passover the Israelites went 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 executed judgments even against their gods.

5 So the Israelites set out from Rameses, and camped at Succoth.
