Context of Numbers 33:5

3They set out from the city of Rameses in early spring—on the fifteenth day of the first month—on the morning after the first Passover celebration. The people of Israel left defiantly, in full view of all the Egyptians. 4Meanwhile, the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn sons, whom the Lord had killed the night before. The Lord had defeated the gods of Egypt that night with great acts of judgment! After leaving Rameses, the Israelites set up camp at Succoth. 6Then they left Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness. 7They left Etham and turned back toward Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon, and camped near Migdol.
