Direction Sheet: Leader Participants will chart the route that the Israelites took on their journey out of Egypt. There are two sets of directions available. The travelogue given in Shemot (Exodus) gives more details about events while the one from Bemidbar (Numbers) focuses more on the route taken. Think about which one (or if giving both) is most appropriate for your Seder participants. Participants can use toothpicks to lay out their route on the map. Some helpful hints that can be offered as participants work through the map to solve the directional lock: a) Let participants know that this puzzle is for the directional lock. b) Point out that they need to focus on four directions: north, south, east, and west. While southeast might seem like an option here, participants must choose the best of the four main directions Materials needed 1 Directional lock 1 Map with the Israelites route out of Egypt for the leader 1 Map without the Israelites route out of Egypt for the participants Toothpicks Travelogue verses from Shemot (Exodus) AND/ OR Travelogue verses from Bemidbar (Numbers) Prepare in advance Set the directional lock to (down, right, down, up). These directions will be the equivalent of South, East, South, North. Place the lock on the box. Make sure participants know how to use the directional lock before they begin solving the puzzle. Remember, gather everything you need for this puzzle and put it into a large, numbered envelope. 2017 JTeach.org

When B nei Yisrael (the Israelites) left Egypt, they traveled for two months until they reached Mount Sinai, where they would receive the Torah three days later. If one looks at a map, this route seems strange if the idea was to arrive in the Promised Land since there was a much more direct route. In fact, the text of the Torah even indicates that God led B nei Yisrael on a roundabout route for a specific purpose. Use the pesukim (verses) provided to follow B nei Yisrael s route out of Egypt and to Mount Sinai. Use the toothpicks to lay out the route. Note: Many of the locations along the route cannot be placed with certainty. The provided map gives one accepted theory. Bemidbar (Numbers) 33:1, 5-15 1 These are the journeys of B nei Yisrael when they went out from the land of Egypt according to their troops in the charge of Moshe and Aharon. 5 B nei Yisrael journeyed from Raamses and encamped at Succot. 6 The journeyed from Succot and encamped at Eitam which is at the edge of the wilderness. 7 They journeyed from Eitam and turned about toward Pi-hahirot which faces Ba al-tzephon; they encamped before Migdol. 8 They journeyed from P nei-hahirot and they passed through the sea to the wilderness; they went a three-days journey into the wilderness of Eitam and they encamped at Marah. 9 They journeyed from Marah; they came to Eilim, and in Eilim there were 12 springs and 70 date-palms. They encamped there. במדבר לג:א- טו א א ל ה מ ס ע י ב נ י י ש ר א ל א ש ר י צ א ו מ א ר ץ מ צ ר י ם ל צ ב א ת ם ב י ד מ ש ה ו א ה ר ן: ה ו י ס ע ו ב נ י י ש ר א ל מ ר ע מ ס ס ו י ח נ ו ב ס כ ת: ו ו י ס ע ו מ ס כ ת ו י ח נ ו ב א ת ם א ש ר ב ק צ ה ה מ ד ב ר: ז ו י ס ע ו מ א ת ם ו י ש ב ע ל פ י ה ח יר ת א ש ר ע ל פ נ י ב ע ל צ פ ון ו י ח נ ו ל פ נ י מ ג ד ל: ח ו י ס ע ו מ פ נ י ה ח יר ת ו י ע ב ר ו ב ת ו ך ה י ם ה מ ד ב ר ה ו י ל כ ו ד ר ך ש לש ת י מ ים ב מ ד ב ר א ת ם ו י ח נ ו ב מ ר ה: ט ו י ס ע ו מ מ ר ה ו י ב א ו א יל מ ה וב א יל ם ש ת ים ע ש ר ה ע ינ ת מ י ם ו ש ב ע ים ת מ ר ים ו י ח נ ו ש ם: 2017 JTeach.org Page 1

When B nei Yisrael (the Israelites) left Egypt, they traveled for two months until they reached Mount Sinai, where they would receive the Torah three days later. If one looks at a map, this route seems strange if the idea was to arrive in the Promised Land since there was a much more direct route. In fact, the text of the Torah even indicates that God led B nei Yisrael on a roundabout route for a specific purpose. Use the pesukim (verses) provided to follow B nei Yisrael s route out of Egypt and to Mount Sinai. Use the toothpicks to lay out the route. Note: Many of the locations along the route cannot be placed with certainty. The provided map gives one accepted theory. Shemot (Exodus) 12:37 B nei Yisrael journeyed from Raamses to Succot, about 600,000 men on foot, aside from children. שמות יב:לז ו י ס ע ו ב נ י י ש ר אל מ ר ע מ סס ס כ ת ה כ ש ש מ א ות א ל ף ר גל י ה ג ב ר ים ל ב ד מ ט ף: Shemot 13:17 It came to pass when Pharaoh sent the people God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines although it was close because God said, Lest the people will have a change of heart when they see the war, and they will return to Egypt. שמות יג:יז ו י הי ב ש ל ח פ ר ע ה א ת ה ע ם ו ל א נ ח ם א לה ים ד ר ך א ר ץ פ ל שת ים כ י א מ ר א לה ים פ ן ק ר וב ה וא כ י י נ ח ם ה עם ב ר א תם מ ל ח מ ה ו ש ב ו מ צ ר י מ ה: Shemot 13:18 God led the people roundabout, by way of the wilderness at the Sea of Reeds (aka the Red Sea). Now B nei Yisrael went up armed out of the land of Egypt. שמות יג:יח ו י ס ב א לה ים את ה ע ם דר ך ה מ ד ב ר י ם ס וף ו ח מ ש ים ע ל ו ב ני י ש ר א ל מ א ר ץ מ צ רי ם: 2017 JTeach.org Page 1

י Shemot 13:20 They set out from Succot, and encamped at Eitam, at the edge of the wilderness. שמות יג:כ ו י ס ע ו מ ס כ ת ו י ח נ ו ב א תם בק צ ה ה מ ד ב ר: Shemot 14:2 Tell B nei Yisrael to turn back and encamp before Pi-hahirot, between Migdol and the sea, before Ba altzephon; you shall encamp facing it, by the sea. שמות יד:ב ד ב ר א ל ב נ י י שר א ל ו י ש ב ו ו י ח נ ו ל פ נ י פ י ה ח יר ת ב ין מ ג ד ל וב ין ה י ם ל פנ י ב ע ל צ פ ן נ כ ח ו תח נ ו ע ל ה י ם: Shemot 14:9 The Egyptians chased after them; and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his warriors overtook them encamped by the sea, near Pihahirot, before Ba al-tzephon. שמות יד:ט ו י ר ד פ ו מ צ רי ם אח ר י הם ו י ש יג ו א ות ם ח נ ים ע ל הי ם כ ל ס וס ר כ ב פ ר ע ה ופ ר ש יו ו ח יל ו ע ל פ י ה ח יר ת ל פ נ י ב ע ל צ פ ן: Shemot 14:21-22 21 Then Moses held out his arm over the sea and YHVH drove back the sea with a strong east wind all that night, and turned the sea into dry ground. The waters were split, 22 and B nei Yisrael went into the sea on dry ground, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left. שמות יד:כא י כא ו י ט מ ש ה א ת י ד ו ע ל ה י ם ו י ול ך א ת ה י ם ב ר וח ק ד ים ע ז ה כ ל ה ל י ל ה ו י ש ם א ת ה ים לח ר ב ה ו י ב ק ע ו ה מ י ם: כב ו י ב א ו ב נ י י ש ר א ל ב ת ו ך ה י ם בי ב ש ה ו ה מ י ם ל ה ם ח ומ ה מ ימ ינ ם ומ ש מ א לם: 2017 JTeach.org Page 2

Shemot 14:29 But B nei Yisrael had marched through the sea on dry ground, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left. שמות יד:כט וב ני י ש ר אל ה ל כ ו ב י ב ש ה ב ת ו ך ה י ם ו ה מ י ם ל ה ם חמ ה מ ימ ינ ם ומ ש מ אל ם: Shemot 15:22 Then Moshe caused Israel to set out from the Sea of Reeds. They went out into the wilderness of Shur; they traveled three days in the wilderness and found no water. שמות טו:כב ו י ס ע מש ה א ת י ש ר א ל מ י ם ס וף ו י צ א ו א ל מ ד ב ר ש ור ו י ל כ ו ש לש ת י מ ים ב מ ד ב ר ו ל א מ צ א ו מ י ם: Shemot 15:23 They came to Marah but they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; that is why it was named Marah [from the Hebrew word for bitter]. שמות טו:כג ו י ב א ו מ ר ת ה ו ל א י כל ו ל ש ת ת מ י ם מ מ ר ה כ י מ ר ים ה ם ע ל כ ן קר א ש מ ה מ ר ה: Shemot 15:27 And they came to Eilim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date-palms; and they encamped there beside the water. שמות טו:כג ו י ב א ו א יל מ ה ו ש ם ש תים ע שר ה ע ינ ת מ י ם ו ש ב ע ים ת מ ר ים ו י ח נ ו ש ם על ה מי ם: 2017 JTeach.org Page 3

י Shemot 16:1 They set out from Eilim; the whole community of B nei Yisrael came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Eilim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt. שמות טז:א ו י ס ע ו מ א יל ם ו י ב א ו כ ל ע דת בנ י י ש ר א ל א ל מ ד ב ר ס ין א שר ב ין א יל ם וב ין ס י ני בח מ ש ה ע ש ר י ום ל ח ד ש ה שנ י ל צ את ם מ א ר ץ מ צ ר י ם: Shemot 17:1 The whole community of B nei Yisrael journeyed from the wilderness of Sin by stages according to what YHVH would command. They encamped at Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink. שמות יז:א ו י ס ע ו כ ל ע ד ת ב נ י י ש ר אל מ מ ד ב ר ס ין ל מ ס ע יה ם ע ל פי י ו י ח נ ו ב ר פ יד ים ו א ין מ י ם ל ש ת ת ה ע ם: Shemot 19:1-2 1 On the third new moon after B nei Yisrael had gone out from the land of Egypt, on that very day, they entered the wilderness of Sinai. 2 They journeyed from Rephidim, they entered the wilderness of Sinai and encamped in the wilderness. Israel encamped there against the mountain. שמות יט:א -ב א ב ח ד ש ה ש ל יש י ל צ את ב נ י י ש רא ל מ א ר ץ מ צ ר י ם ב י ום ה ז ה ב א ו מ ד ב ר ס ינ י: ב ו י ס ע ו מ ר פ יד ים ו י ב א ו מ ד ב ר ס י ני וי ח נ ו ב מ ד ב ר ו י חן ש ם י ש ר א ל נ ג ד ה הר: Which direction did B nei Yisrael travel next?
