One of the practices of the Canaanites was child sacrifices. And part of the reason, if not the primary reason, for the conquest of the Canaanites by God was judgment against their evil practices. Deut 12:29-31 (ESV) 29 “When the LORD your God cuts off before you the nations whom you go in to dispossess, …
After their encampment at Mt Sinai for a year, I believe the Israelites spent the vast majority of their 40 year sojourn at Kadesh. Deut 1:46 says they stayed at Kadesh for a long time. Deut 1:46 (BSB) 46 For this reason you stayed in Kadesh for a long time – a very long time. …

Exod 14:2-3 (ESV) 2 “Tell the people of Israel to turn back and encamp in front of Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon; you shall encamp facing it, by the sea. 3 For Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel, ‘They are wandering in the land; the wilderness has shut …
One of the major points of reference in the Exodus route is Mt Sinai, where the 10 commandments was given. Sinai was also referred to as Horeb. In the Bible, Mount Sinai (Hebrew: הַר סִינַי, Har Sinai) is the mountain at which the Ten Commandments were given to Moses by God.[1] In the Book of …
Instead of going the way of the Philistines, they went through “the way of the wilderness of the Red sea”. Exod 13:18 (KJV) 18 But God led the people about, [through] the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt. The …
