Exodus 15:27
Excerpted from: Under Attack By the Amalekites

Here in verse 27 we see another one of God's names He revealed to Israel that we should be considering during our personal count to Pentecost. Remember, all these things happened as God was mercifully preparing them for their walk beyond Sinai. There is an indication that the 12 wells of water and the 70 palm trees indicate God's providential care, the 12 wells providing for each of the 12 tribes and the 70 palm trees representing 70 elders and what God gives us as gifts to provide for His people. Regarding this verse, I found Kyle Delitzsch's commentary to give a good abstract of what I have seen in all the other reference material I went through. Kyle Delitzsch's commentary writes:

Exodus 15:27
Excerpted from: Mercy, Pilgrimage, and Providence

At this point in time they had just left an encampment (verse 27) and God supplied them there with a well-watered oasis that apparently also had plenty of sweet foods there as well. That's why the palm trees are mentioned. And now, a couple of weeks later, they are facing one of the first difficulties of the march itself in that they apparently had to walk for several days from the wells at Elim without an abundance of food and water. They were already bitterly complaining about their circumstance, wishing they had never left Egypt.
