"On their gods also" - Numbers 33:4

[Ed Walsh]

Greetings,

In Numbers 33, we have a recounting of Israel's journey from Egypt to just outside the Promised Land. This morning I was struck with the last phrase of verse 4., "On their gods also the Lord executed judgments."

Wht does this verse mean?

Numbers 33:3‭-‬4 ESV​

They set out from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month.

On their gods also the Lord executed judgments.​

Ideas???
