It was a significant location as it represented the starting point of the Exodus, marking the beginning of Israel's journey from slavery to freedom. Rameses is often associated with the city of Pi-Ramesses, a royal city built by Pharaoh Ramesses II, which aligns with the biblical account of the Israelites being forced to build store cities for Pharaoh (<a href="/exodus/1-11.htm">Exodus 1:11</a>). This departure signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to deliver His people from bondage (<a href="/exodus/3-7.htm">Exodus 3:7-10</a>).<p><b>and camped at Succoth</b><br>Succoth was the first stop on the Israelites' journey after leaving Rameses. The name "Succoth" means "booths" or "temporary shelters," indicating a place of temporary dwelling. This location is significant as it represents the initial stage of the Israelites' transition from a settled life in Egypt to a nomadic existence in the wilderness. The journey to Succoth is a physical manifestation of their spiritual journey towards reliance on God. Succoth is also mentioned in the context of the Feast of Tabernacles (<a href="/leviticus/23-42.htm">Leviticus 23:42-43</a>), which commemorates the Israelites' wilderness wanderings and God's provision during that time.
