Numbers 33:1-15

11This is the way that the Israelites travelled, after Moses and Aaron led them out of Egypt. They travelled in their family groups.

2The Lord told Moses that he should write about the journey. These are the places where they made their camps on the way:

3They left Rameses in Egypt on the 15th day of the first month. That was the day after the Passover meal. The Israelites marched out bravely, while all the Egyptian people watched them.

4As they left, the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn sons, because the Lord had killed them. The Lord had shown his power over the Egyptians' gods.

5They left Rameses and they travelled to Succoth. They made their camp there.

6They travelled from Succoth to Etham. They made their camp there, on the edge of the desert.

7They travelled from Etham and they turned round to go to Pi-Hahiroth, which is east of Baal-Zephon. They made their camp near Migdol.

8They travelled from Pi-Hahiroth. They went through the middle of the sea and then went into the desert. They travelled for three days and then they made their camp at Marah, in Etham desert.

9They travelled from Marah to Elim. At Elim, there were 12 wells of water and 70 palm trees. They made their camp there.

10They travelled from Elim and they made their camp by the side of the Red Sea.

11They travelled from the Red Sea. And they made their camp in the Sin desert.

12They travelled from the Sin desert and they made their camp at Dophkah.

13They travelled from Dophkah and they made their camp at Alush.

14They travelled from Alush and they made their camp at Rephidim. There was no water there for the people to drink.

15They travelled from Rephidim and they made their camp in the Sinai desert.
