從埃及到西奈山

 

之前，曾記錄【在曠野中的安營地點】的42個地點。

沒想到，在網路上看到另一篇文章：【From Egypt To Mount. SiNai】http://theisraelbible.com/egypt-mount-sinai-2/

它專門針對從埃及出來，到西奈山的過程，經歷的 10個地點，來加以說明：

1. Ramses (蘭塞)
2. Succoth (疏割)
3. Etham (以倘)
4. Midgol (密奪)
5. The sea splits (海分裂)
6. Marah (瑪拉)
7. Elim (以琳)
8. wilderness of Sin (汛的曠野)
9. Rephidim (利非訂)
10. wilderness of Sinai (西乃的曠野)

This map traces the journey of the Children of Israel from Egypt to Mount Sinai as described in Exodus 12:37-19:2.

1. The Children of Israel leave Egpyt from Ramses (Exodus 12:37) on the 15th of Nissan.
2. Their first stop on the journey from Egypt is Succoth (Exodus 12:37).
3. From Succoth they travel to Etham (Exodus 13:19).
4. They camp between Midgol and the sea while the Egyptian army pursues them (Exodus 14:1-14).
5. The sea splits, allowing the Jews to cross on dry land while the pursuing Egyptian army drowns (Exodus 14:15-31).
6. The people travel to Marah where they find bitter water.  God sweetens the water for them, gives them some laws and promises to be their healer (Exodus 15:23-26).
7. In Elim they find 12 springs of water and 70 palm trees (Exodus 15:27).
8. In the wilderness of Sin they complain about the lack of food and are given manna from heaven and quail to eat (Exodus 16:1-36).
9. They again lack water in Rephidim.  God provides water from a rock after which Amalek attacks (Exodus 17:1-16).
10. From Rephidim the people travel to the wilderness of Sinai and camp near Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:1-2).  It is here that they are given the Torah, make the golden calf and build the Tabernacle.
