Moses wrote the starting points of their journeys by the commandment of the LORD. These are their journeys according to their starting points.
ExplanationCommentary
Verse 2. Which. Hebrew “and Moses wrote down their departure and their marches, by the commandment of the Lord; and these are their journeys, according to their going out.” These are the places of any note in that wide and dreary desert, near which the Israelites passed. All the encampments are not intended to be specified. The people marched on slowly, and sought for pasturage, with all diligence. The names of these more remarkable places, have been so differently pronounced, that many of them have been greatly confounded; ( Calmet.) and interpreters vary so much in their situation, that nothing can be decided with certainty.
