The Exodus Journey: Egypt to Sinai A map tracing the route from Egypt through the Red Sea to Mount Sinai. This map traces the early narrative of Exodus: Israel's sojourn and bondage in Egypt, the store-cities of Pithom and Raamses, Moses' birth along the Nile, his flight to Midian, his encounter with God at Mount Horeb, and the land of Canaan promised as a land flowing with milk and honey. The plagues unfold in the Nile region, while Goshen remains the protected dwelling of Israel.
