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:

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.
