So the Israelites
The term "Israelites" refers to the descendants of Jacob, who was also named Israel by God. This name signifies their identity as God's chosen people, a nation set apart to fulfill His divine purposes. The Hebrew root for Israel, "Yisra'el," means "God prevails" or "he struggles with God," reflecting the spiritual journey and covenant relationship between God and His people. Historically, the Israelites' journey from Egypt marks the beginning of their transformation from a group of enslaved tribes into a unified nation under God's guidance.

set out
The phrase "set out" indicates a deliberate action of departure, signifying obedience to God's command to leave Egypt. In Hebrew, the word "nasa" conveys the idea of pulling up tent pegs, symbolizing readiness and willingness to move forward. This action represents a significant step of faith, as the Israelites leave behind the familiar, albeit oppressive, life in Egypt to embrace the unknown journey toward the Promised Land.

from Rameses
Rameses, or Raamses, was a city in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites had settled during their time in Egypt. It was likely named after one of the Pharaohs, possibly Rameses II, and served as a store city built by the Israelites during their enslavement. Archaeologically, Rameses is associated with the site of Pi-Ramesses, a royal city in the Nile Delta. The departure from Rameses marks the beginning of the Exodus, a pivotal event in Israelite history, symbolizing liberation from bondage and the fulfillment of God's promise to deliver His people.

and camped
The act of camping suggests a temporary stop in their journey, a time for rest and reflection. In Hebrew, "chanah" means to pitch a tent or encamp, indicating a pause in their travels. This reflects the nomadic lifestyle the Israelites would adopt during their 40 years in the wilderness. Each encampment provided an opportunity for the Israelites to experience God's provision and guidance, reinforcing their dependence on Him.

at Succoth
Succoth, meaning "booths" or "temporary shelters" in Hebrew, was the first stop after leaving Rameses. It symbolizes the beginning of their wilderness journey and reliance on God's protection and provision. Historically, Succoth is believed to be located east of the Nile Delta, serving as a transitional point from the settled life in Egypt to the nomadic existence in the desert. This location underscores the theme of trust in God's promises, as the Israelites embark on a path that requires faith and perseverance.
