Usage: Etham is used in the context of a geographical location mentioned in the journey of the Israelites during the Exodus. It is specifically noted as a place where the Israelites camped.

Context: Etham is a location mentioned in the biblical narrative of the Exodus. According to the account in the Book of Exodus, Etham is one of the stations where the Israelites camped after leaving Egypt. It is described as being on the edge of the wilderness. The specific references to Etham can be found in Exodus 13:20 and Numbers 33:6-8. In Exodus 13:20 (BSB), it states: "They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness." This indicates that Etham was a significant waypoint in the early stages of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. The exact location of Etham is not definitively known, but it is traditionally considered to be near the eastern border of Egypt, possibly in the region of the modern-day Sinai Peninsula. The mention of Etham highlights the transitional phase of the Israelites moving from the settled land of Egypt into the more challenging and uncertain environment of the wilderness.
