Attempting to locate many of the stations of the Israelite Exodus is a difficult task, if not infeasible.

The Hebrews obtained gemstones from the Middle East, India, and Egypt.

When they were settled in the Land of Israel, they obtained gemstones from the merchant caravans travelling from Babylonia or Persia to Egypt ...
