Israel Arrives In The Wilderness Of Sin
Exactly one month after escaping the bonds of Egypt, the entire congregation of Israel has arrived in the desolate Wilderness of Sin, located between Elim and Sinai. The journey has exhausted their Egyptian provisions, and a massive wave of grumbling has erupted against Moses and Aaron as hunger sets in across the camp.
"Then they set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin... on the fifteenth day of the second month after their going out from the land of Egypt."
— Exodus 16:1
