בעשרים בחדש. זה היום היה תחלת נסוע הדגלים והנה עמדו בסיני קרוב משנה: ON THE TWENTIETH DAY OF THE MONTH. The standards first journeyed on this day. Thus Israel was at Sinai close to a year.26Israel came to the wilderness of Sinai on the first day of the third month. See I.E. on Ex. 19:1 (Vol. 2, p. 370). They journeyed from there on the twentieth day of the second month. They thus spent a year minus ten days in the wilderness of Sinai.
