Numbers 33:6 In-Context

4 While the Egyptians were placing in the earth the bodies of their sons on whom the Lord had sent destruction: and their gods had been judged by him.

5 So the children of Israel went from Rameses and put up their tents in Succoth.

6 And they went on from Succoth and put up their tents in Etham on the edge of the waste land.

7 And from Etham, turning back to Pi-hahiroth which is before Baal-zephon, they put up their tents before Migdol.

8 And journeying on from before Hahiroth, they went through the sea into the waste land: they went three days' journey through the waste land of Etham and put up their tents in Marah.
