Context of Numbers 33:3
1These are the journeys of the Israelites, who went out of the land of Egypt by their divisions under the authority of Moses and Aaron. 2Moses recorded their departures according to their journeys, by the commandment of the Lord; now these are their journeys according to their departures. They departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the Israelites went out defiantly in plain sight of all the Egyptians. 4Now the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, whom the Lord had killed among them; the Lord also executed judgments on their gods. 5The Israelites traveled from Rameses and camped in Succoth.
