Ex. 12:51• 51And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies. (Ex. 12:51)
• From Rameses, first passing through the land of Goshen, they went to Succoth; then the whole host swept along the green valley between the hills, and beside the Sweet Water Canal towards the lakes of Pithom and “Pharaoh’s farm,” where the nomads, the wandering tribes, were permitted to pitch their tents “in order to feed themselves and to feed their cattle in the great estate of Pharaoh.” (“Liberty” by H.F. Witherby)
• This city {apparently one along the route} was one of those they had built {Ex. 1:11}. It has only recently been brought to light ...where Rameses sits between the sun-gods, to one of which, Tum, the city was dedicated – Pi-Tum, the dwelling of Tum. In it were chambers or “granaries, into which the Pharaohs gathered the provisions necessary for armies about to cross the desert, or even for caravans... which were on the road to Syria.” It was both a store city and a fortified city. Is it too much to suppose that Israel replenished their supplies from its store-chambers – the very ones they had themselves built? We have to remember that after leaving Egypt, Israel, for one month depended upon their own resources, for the supply of heavenly food was not afforded them until the fifteenth day of the second month. (“Liberty” by H.F. Witherby)
