And the children of Israel removed from Rameses,.... Or Pelusium, as the same Targum again:and pitched in Succoth: where, as the same paraphrase says, they were covered with the clouds of glory, suggesting that to be the reason of its name; but that was rather because of the booths or tents the Israelites erected, pitched, and dwelt in, during their abode there: this, according to Bunting , was eight miles from Rameses; according to whose computation, for want of a better guide, the distances of the several stations from each other will be given.
