While the Egyptians were placing in the earth the bodies of their sons on whom the Lord had sent destruction: and their gods had been judged by him.

So the children of Israel went from Rameses and put up their tents in Succoth.

And they went on from Succoth and put up their tents in Etham on the edge of the waste land.

And from Etham, turning back to Pi-hahiroth which is before Baal-zephon, they put up their tents before Migdol.

And journeying on from before Hahiroth, they went through the sea into the waste land: they went three days' journey through the waste land of Etham and put up their tents in Marah.

And from Marah they went on to Elim: and in Elim there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees; and they put up their tents there.

And they went on from Elim and put up their tents by the Red Sea.
