Numbers 33:1-10

1 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
2 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD, and these are their journeys according to their goings out:
3 And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the morrow after the Passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians,
4 for the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, whom the LORD had smitten among them. Upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
5 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses and pitched camp in Succoth.
6 And they departed from Succoth and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.
7 And they removed from Etham and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon; and they pitched before Migdol.
8 And they departed from before Pihahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the Wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
9 And they removed from Marah and came unto Elim; and in Elim were twelve fountains of water and threescore and ten palm trees, and they pitched there.
10 And they removed from Elim and encamped by the Red Sea.
