promise.

Egypt by their troops under the conduct of Moses and Aaron,
The mansions.... These mansions, or journeys of the children of Israel
from Egypt to the land of promise, were figures, according to the
fathers, of the steps and degrees by which Christians leaving sin are
to advance from virtue to virtue, till they come to the heavenly
mansions, after this life, to see and enjoy God.

encamping, which they changed by the commandment of the Lord.
