Numbers 33:4-6

Contemporary English Version

^3-4 Israel left the Egyptian city of Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month.^[a] This was the day after the Lord had punished Egypt's gods by killing the first-born sons in every Egyptian family. So while the Egyptians were burying the bodies, they watched the Israelites proudly^[b] leave their country.

⁵ After the Israelites left Rameses, they camped at Succoth, ⁶ and from there, they moved their camp to Etham on the edge of the desert.
