1 hae sunt mansiones filiorum Israhel qui egressi sunt de Aegypto per turmas suas in manu Mosi et Aaron

2 quas descripsit Moses iuxta castrorum loca quae Domini iussione mutabant

3 profecti igitur de Ramesse mense primo quintadecima die mensis primi altera die phase filii Israhel in manu excelsa videntibus cunctis Aegyptiis

4 et sepelientibus primogenitos quos percusserat Dominus nam et in diis eorum exercuerat ultionem

5 castrametati sunt in Soccoth

6 et de Soccoth venerunt in Aetham quae est in extremis finibus solitudinis

7 inde egressi venerunt contra Phiahiroth quae respicit Beelsephon et castrametati sunt ante Magdolum

8 profectique de Phiahiroth transierunt per medium mare in solitudinem et ambulantes tribus diebus per desertum Aetham castrametati sunt in Mara
