AND THEY TOOK THEIR JOURNEY FROM ELIM, AND ALL THE CONGREGATION OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL CAME UNTO THE WILDERNESS OF SIN. Scripture speaks briefly here, for when they journeyed from Elim, they pitched by the Red Sea, and they journeyed from the Red Sea, and they pitched in the wilderness of Sin,²⁷⁷Numbers 33:10-11. since this great wilderness extended from Elim to Sinai. Thus, when they travelled from Elim, they camped beside the Red Sea in that wilderness. Then they journeyed from the edge of the sea and entered into the midst of the wilderness, making the stages of Dophkah and Alush,²⁷⁸Ibid., Verses 12-13. See Ramban further at beginning of Seder Yithro (Note 25) for how this explanation affects a major problem in Torah exegesis as to when Jethro came, i.e., before or after the Giving of the Torah. and then they journeyed from Alush, which is in the wilderness of Sinai, and they pitched in Rephidim.²⁷⁹Ibid., Verse 14.
In the opinion of our Rabbis,²⁸⁰Shemoth Rabbah 25:5. the manna began falling in Alush. When the Israelites saw that they were journeying and camping in the wilderness — in Dophkah and Alush — and had not come out of it, they became frightened and began murmuring. This is the meaning of the verse, And they murmured… in the wilderness,²⁸¹Verse 2. for they had not murmured when they came there but only after they were there in the wilderness [for an extended period of time].

ישא מדברותיך, “it bears (willingly) Your pronouncements.” This is a reference to the Levites carrying the Holy Ark containing G’d’s pronouncements, the Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Ibn Ezra). Alternatively, [especially because of the switch to the singular, i.e. the individual, Ed.] each one of them gladly acts as the bearer of G’d’s instructions teaching them to his fellow Israelites. This would be similar to verse 10 where Moses praises the Levites for being the teachers of Torah.

יש לי רב, “I have a great deal.” Esau spoke very haughtily. If you take a close look at the verses you will note that Yaakov is rather long-winded whereas Esau is brief and succinct. This is proof of his arrogance. Moreover, you will note that Yaakov introduces the name of G’d into every aspect of his speech, such as when he says: “the children with whom G’d has graciously endowed me.” He refers to Esau’s accepting his gift being comparable to his being allowed to see the “face of G’d;” (verse 10) or to G’d as having granted him this wealth (verse 11). Esau, on the other hand, did not refer to G’d a single time.
