The route lay past Apollium, Phi-Haroth, where there was a Roman garrison, then through two other forts, Migdal and Baal-Zephon, and onwards by way of Etham, Succoth, Pithom, another fort, to Heropolis, then only a large village, on a ranch of the Nile and within the borders of Egypt.

The remainder of the journey into Goshen was then accomplished.

It took her past Ramesses, which was only four miles from her goal, the City of Arabia, which she reached on the eve of the Epiphany in time for the services.

These escorted us thence, according to custom, to another fort, and Baal Zephron was shown to us when we were at that place.

It is a plain above the Red Sea, along the side of the mountain which I mentioned above, where the children of Israel cried out when they saw the Egyptians coming after them.

Etham also was shown to us, which is on the edge of the wilderness, as it is written, also Succoth, which is a slight elevation in the middle of a valley, and by this little hill the children of Israel encamped.

This is the place where the law of the Passover was received.

It's by faith that he does this.

And then we're told, verse 20, "...and they took their journey from Succoth and encamped in Etham in the edge of the wilderness." Now you'll find that they are moving now toward that wilderness, and it's a frightful wilderness.

Now again, notice what God does in verse 21.

Then the children of Israel moved from Ramesses and camped at Succoth.

They departed from Succoth and camped at Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness.

They moved from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which is east of Baal-zephon, and they camped near Migdol.

They moved from Marah and came to Elam.

At Elam were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, so they camped there.
