1 These were the stages by which the Israelites marched when they left the land of Egypt, according to their military units under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.
2 Moses recorded the points of departure for each stage of the march at the Lord’s command. These are the stages of their march according to their points of departure.
3 They marched from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the day after the Passover the Israelites went out defiantly in the sight of all the Egyptians,
4 while the Egyptians were burying their oldest males, whom the Lord had killed. The Lord also executed judgments against their gods.
5 The Israelites marched from Rameses and they camped at Succoth.
6 They marched from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the desert.
7 They marched from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which faces Baal-zephon, and they camped before Migdol.
