 And we find that in the story of Israel here in Exodus in chapter 19. So the nation of Israel has been delivered from Pharaoh. They've been given manna and quail in the wilderness, and now they find themselves in the desert of Sinai. And that's where the story picks up in verse 1 of 19. It says, "...on the first day of the third month after the Israelites left Egypt, on that very day they came out to the desert of Sinai. And after they set out from Rephidim, they entered the desert of Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in front of the mountain."
