CHAP. XIII. XIV. XV. XVI. XVII.

[World 2514] [Moses 81] [Redemption from Egypt. 1] THE command for observing the Passover renewed, and a command for dedicating the first-born given. The cloud of glory is their conductor; their march was measured by these times: On the fifteenth day of Nisan, even while it was yet night, they began their march, and go out in the sight of all Egypt, while they are burying their dead: this day they go from Rameses to Succoth. The sixteenth day they come to the edge of the wilderness of Etham; the Red-sea pointeth so into this wilder∣ness, that before they pass through the Red-sea, they are in the wilder∣ness of Etham, and when they are passed through, they are in it again. The wilderness of Etham and Shur, are one and the same; see Numb. 33. 7, 8. and compare Exod. 15. 22. On the seventeenth day they come to Hiroth. On the eighteenth day it is told Pharaoh that the people fled; for till their third days march, they went right for Horeb, according as they had desired to go three days journey to sacrifice; but when they turned out of that way toward the Red-sea, then Pharaoh hath intelli∣gence, that they intended to go some whither else, then whither they asked to go: thereupon, he and Egypt prepair to pursue them, for their Jewels and their Servants. On the nineteenth day they pursue: On the twentieth day towards even they overtake them, and Israel entereth the Sea, and by break of day are all marched through, and the Egyptians drowned.

On the one and twentieth day of the moneth in the morning betime they came out of the Sea; this was the last holy day of the Passover week: they sung for their delivery, and after three days march they come to Marah; and from thence to Elim, and there they pitch divers days.

On the fifteenth day of the month Ijar, they come to the wilderness of Zin, murmur for bread as they had done at Marah for water; and they have Quails sent them and Manna. The Sabbath now first mentioned, but not now first commanded; in Egypt they had neglected the Sabbath; since their coming thence, they had marched on it; now a rule is given for its constant observation. The people murmur a fourth time, and it is for water, which they obtain out of the rock, but are scourged by Amalek for their repining: Amalek conquered by Moses his prayer.
