1. THESE ARE the stages of the journeys of the Israelites by which they went out of the land of Egypt by their hosts under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.
2. Moses recorded their starting places, as the Lord commanded, stage by stage; and these are their journeying stages from their starting places:
3. They set out from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the Israelites went out [of Egypt] with a high hand and triumphantly in the sight of all the Egyptians,
4. While the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn whom the Lord had struck down among them; upon their gods also the Lord executed judgments.
5. The Israelites set out from Rameses and encamped in Succoth.
6. And they departed from Succoth and encamped in Etham, which is at the edge of the wilderness.
7. They set out from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, east of Baal-zephon, and they encamped before Migdol.
8. And they journeyed from before Pi-hahiroth and passed through the midst of the [Red] Sea into the wilderness; and they went a three days' journey in the Wilderness of Etham and encamped at Marah.
9. They journeyed from Marah and came to Elim; at Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there.
10. They set out from Elim and encamped by the Red Sea.
