Exegesis
Each verb pairs with a locative phrase—mi-livnāh {מִלִּבְנָ֑ה | mi-livnāh} “from Livnah” indicating departure, and be-rissāh {בְּרִסָּֽה | bə-rissāh} “at Rissah” marking arrival—which reflects the itinerary style of Numbers 33. The Hebrew perfective is rendered in English past tense to preserve sequence.
In context — Numbers 33:21
They set out from Livnah and camped at Rissah.
