their journeys] Wherein the places of their mansion are mentioned by particular names, given them partly by God, and partly by the people upon particular occasions; for it is not like, that the places of the desert had so many distinct appellations before their travels and encampings there: of divers of them there is no mention in the former story, as of their encamping by the red Sea, vers. 10. of their encamping at Dophkah, vers. 12. at Rissah, vers. 21. and Ebronah, vers. 34. In this various wandring the condition of the Church (which is a pilgrimage) is prefigured; for those who are heires of heaven, are as younger brothers on earth, without any fixed seat, and as pilgrimes and sojourners are put to shift from place to place. See Genesis 47:9. 1 Chron. 29. 15. 1 Pet. 1. 17. Hebr. 11. 9, 10, 13, 14.
