Commentary on Exodus 12:37
The journey from Rameses to Succoth begins the exodus. 'Six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children' indicates approximately 2-3 million total people—a nation in motion. The specification 'men' (gever, גֶּבֶר—warriors, able-bodied men) shows Israel could field a substantial army. This fulfills God's promise that Abraham's descendants would be numerous (Genesis 15:5).
