15.1 Tunc cecinit Moyses, etc. ORIG., homil. 6 n Exod. Multa cantica legimus in Scripturis, sed hoc primum omnium est quod, Ægyptiis et Pharaone submerso, post victoriam cantatur. Mos enim sanctorum est, ubi adversarius vincitur quia sciunt non sua virtute, sed Dei gratia victoriam factam, hymnum Deo glorificationis offerre. Accipiunt tamen canentes tympana in manibus, sicut de Maria et Aaron refertur. Et tu ergo, si mare Rubrum transieris, si Ægyptios submergi videris, et Pharaonem præcipitari in abyssum, potes hymnum Deo gratanter canere, et dicere: Cantemus Domino gloriose, etc. Dignius autem hoc dices, si habueris in manu tympanum, id est, si carnem tuam crucifixeris cum vitiis et concupiscentiis. Gloriose enim, etc. ORIG. Non sufficit, glorificatusest; aliud est enim glorificari, aliud gloriose glorificari. Cum enim Christus carnem pro nobis suscepit, glorificatus est, qui venit quærere quod perierat, non tamen gloriose, quia non habebat speciem neque decorem; glorificatus est cum venit ad crucem, et pertulit mortem; unde Joan. 17: Pater, venit hora, glorifica Filium tuum, etc. Erat ergo et gloria passio crucis, ubi et glorificatus, non gloriose quidem, sed humiliter; unde Phil. 2: Humiliavit semetipsum, factus obediens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis. Et Sap. 2: Morte turpissima condemnemus eum. In his ergo glorificatus est de se humiliter, non gloriose; unde Lucæ 24: Quia oportebat pati Christum, et sic intrare in gloriam suam. Cum venerit in gloria Patris, et angelorum judicare terram, et verum Pharaonem, id est diabolum, interficiet spiritu oris sui, cum refulgebit in majestate Patris: tunc gloriose glorificabitur, cum omnes honorificabunt Filium sicut honorificant Patrem. Magnificatus est, equum et ascensorem dejecit in mare, etc. In signis Ægypti. Sed gloriose magnificatus est, quia Pharaonem et exercitum ejus submersit. Vel magnificatus est, miracula ante passionem faciendo, prædicando, in cruce moriendo: sed gloriose magnificatus est, cum resurrexit victor victo diabolo, spoliato inferno. Equum, etc. ORIG. Homines qui nos insequuntur equi sunt; et omnes qui in carne nati sunt, figuraliter equi sunt, et habent ascensores suos. Sunt quos Dominus ascendit, et circumeunt omnem terram; de quibus dicitur Habac. 3: Equitatus tuus salus. Alios ascendit diabolus et angeli ejus. Judas equus erat, et cum ascensorem habuit Dominum, de equitatu salutis erat: cum cæteris enim apostolis missus ægrotis salutem et languentibus præstitit sanitatem; ubi diabolo se substravit, qui post buccellam in eum intravit, equus Satanæ factus, et illius habenis ductus contra Dominum equitavit. Omnes ergo persecutores equi sunt hinnientes, sed habent angelos malos, quibus aguntur ascensores, et ideo feroces sunt. Si videris persecutorem tuum nimis sævientem, scito quia ab ascensore pungitur, et ideo sævus est et truculentus.

And Sap. 2: Morte turpissima condemnemus him. In his therefore glorificatus it_is about se humiliter, not/no gloriose; whence Lucæ 24: Quia oportebat pati Christum, and so intrare in gloriam suam. Since venerit in glory Patris, and angelorum yudicare the_earth/land, and verum Pharaonem, id it_is diabolum, interficiet spiritu oris sui, when/with refulgebit in mayestate Patris: tunc gloriose glorificabitur, when/with everyone honorificabunt Son like honorificant Patrem.

Map

The Route of the Exodus

Exodus 13-19; Numbers 33

Like several other events recorded in Scripture, the Bible’s account of the Israelites’ journey from Egypt to Mount Sinai includes an abundance of geographical references, yet it remains one of the most hotly debated topics among scholars, and numerous theories have been offered. The vast majority of geographical references provided in the story are disputed, including the place where the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, the location of Mount Sinai (see Proposed Locations for Mount Sinai map), and the various stops along the Israelites’ journey. A few locations have been established with some degree of scholarly consensus, but even these are not without opposing viewpoints. Amidst this incredible diversity of opinion, however, a single verse provides one of the most helpful clues for weighing the merits of one viewpoint over another: “By the way of Mount Seir it takes eleven days to reach Kadesh-barnea from Horeb” (Deuteronomy 1:2). For those who assume the Bible’s account to be trustworthy, this verse appears to require the following for any theory to be considered viable: 1) Kadesh-barnea and Mount Sinai must have been located at a distance from each other that could reasonably have been expected to take eleven days for an entire nation of people with small children, flocks, equipment, and perhaps even elderly members to travel on foot; and 2) the pace established by this distance over eleven days should most likely be considered the typical pace for the Israelites as they traveled from place to place along the other parts of the journey. This two-pronged test clearly strains many of the theories put forth to this point, especially when one factors in the time references given for the start of the journey (Exodus 12:6; Numbers 33:3), the middle of the journey (Exodus 16:1; Numbers 33:8), and the end of the journey (Exodus 19:1). In short, the journey from Rameses to the Wilderness of Sin took 31 days, since it included the 15th day of the second month, and the rest of the journey took another 16 days, assuming they arrived at Mount Sinai on the 15th day (not the first day, etc.) of the third month. Along with these criteria, a theory’s overall congruence with other established geographical and archeological data should bolster its credibility over other proposals. Another consideration is the extreme similarity between the events at Rephidim (Exodus 17) and the events at Kadesh-barnea (Numbers 20:1-13; 27:12-14; Deuteronomy 32:51; Ezekiel 47:19; 48:28), raising the question of whether Rephidim (meaning “resting places”) is in fact Kadesh-barnea. With these things in mind, the map below proposes a route for the exodus that meets virtually all of these criteria. A careful analysis and explanation of all the elements of the map is far beyond the scope of this article, but a few key points should be noted. The term Red Sea, in addition to referring to what we now regard it, must have also applied to the interconnected lakes and marshlands that lay along what is now the Suez Canal. Also, the portion of the journey that passed through the wilderness for three days without water (Exodus 15:22; Numbers 33:8) may have been comprised of a partial first day, a full second day, and a partial third day, much like Jesus’ time in the tomb is reckoned as three days in Matthew 12:40. Most notably, Mount Sinai is placed on this map at Gebel Khashm et-Tarif, which is appropriately located near, but not in, Midian (Exodus 3:1; 18:5; Numbers 10:29-30). It is also located 89 miles from Kadesh-barnea (assuming Kadesh is at Tall al-Quderat), which establishes a reasonable pace of 7.6 miles (12.2 km) per day to travel between them in 11 days. This lines up well with several known sources of water along that route (e.g., `Ain Qedeis [Hazar-addar?], Tamilat Suwelima [Hor-haggiggad?], and the spring at Kuntillet al-Girafi [unknown ancient identification]). This general pace then synchronizes very well with the timetable and distances required by this map for the other parts of the journey. The distance from Rameses to the Wilderness of Sin (where it is located here) could be completed in under 26 days, leaving an acceptable buffer of about 5 days for the parting of the Red Sea and perhaps a slower pace through the Wilderness of Shur/Etham. The entire journey took about 60 days, and the journey from the Wilderness of Sin to Mount Sinai took about 29 days. This leaves an acceptable buffer of time to complete the rest of the journey (about 16 days of travel) with a very adequate two weeks of extra time for Jethro to visit Moses and the Israelites to do battle with the Amalekites (Exodus 17-18). It should be noted that this timetable generally assumes (but does not necessarily require) that travel continued on sabbath days, but Scripture does not make clear whether travel was prohibited as work prior to the giving of the law at Mount Sinai.
