Sforno on Numbers 33:1/ספורנו על במדבר ל״ג:א׳
אאֵלֶּה מַסְעֵי. רָצָה הָאֵל יִתְבָּרַךְ שֶׁיִּכָּתְבוּ מַסְעֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהוֹדִיעַ זְכוּתָם בְּלֶכְתָּם אַחֲרָיו בַּמִּדְבָּר בְּאֶרֶץ לֹא זְרוּעָה, בְּאֹפֶן שֶׁהָיוּ רְאוּיִים לְהִכָּנֵס לָאָרֶץ.
1אלה מסעי, G’d wanted all the journeys to be recorded in order to compliment the Jewish people who had followed him blindly through the desert where nothing grew, so that as a reward for their faith they would deserve to enter and inherit the land of Israel.
