Numbers 33:5
The Israelites set out from Rameses and camped at Succoth.
BSB
ASV
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth.
KJV
And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
Sochoth [Succoth] is interpreted "tents." Thus the first progress of the soul is to be taken away from earthly agitation and to learn that it must dwell in tents like a wanderer, so that it can be, as it were, ready for battle and meet those who lie in wait for it unhindered and free.
And pitched in Succoth - This name signifies booths or tents, and probably refers to no town or village, but simply designates the place where they pitched their tents for the first time after their departure from Rameses. Stat. 2.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
