Definition: Etham

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Etham in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name.

Usage: Etham is a location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the context of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. It is described as a place where the Israelites camped during their journey through the wilderness.

Cultural and Historical Background: Etham is traditionally understood to be located near the edge of the wilderness, possibly in the northeastern part of the Sinai Peninsula. The exact location is not definitively known, but it is considered to be a significant waypoint in the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. The mention of Etham highlights the transitional phase of the Israelites moving from the known world of Egypt into the unknown wilderness, relying on God's guidance.
