Matot / Ma’sei


Archaeological remains at Succoth, the first place the
Hebrews camped after leaving Egypt

Desert travelogue.
Moses recalls the places
Where the people camped

Nothing but a list
With a few key exceptions
For special places

Elim – much water
In Rephidim, not so much
Later, Hor Mountain

At which point Moses
Takes a moment to recall
That’s where Aaron died
