And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.
The verse records one stage of Israel's journey from Egypt to Canaan, when they departed from Rephidim and pitched camp in the wilderness of Sinai, one of their many journeys. It belongs to the record of Israel's encampments in Numbers 33, part of the travel account in Numbers 33 and 34. That travel account also gives directions for the boundaries of Israel.
The place names in that encampment record preserve the route even though little is recorded about most of the stops. The Sinai region is part of the Exodus route shown in maps used to teach the journey narrative.
