Numbers 33:3

IsraelRameses

1 These are the journeys of the Israelites when they came out of the land of Egypt by their divisions under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.

2 At the LORD’s command, Moses recorded the stages of their journey. These are the stages listed by their starting points:

On the fifteenth day of the first month, on the day after the Passover, the Israelites set out from Rameses. They marched out defiantly in full view of all the Egyptians,

4 who were burying all their firstborn, whom the LORD had struck down among them; for the LORD had executed judgment against their gods.

5 The Israelites set out from Rameses and camped at Succoth.
