They set out from the Desert of Sin
The Desert of Sin is a region the Israelites traversed during their exodus from Egypt. It is located between Elim and Mount Sinai. This area is significant as it was a place of testing and provision, where God provided manna and quail to the Israelites (Exodus 16). The name "Sin" is not related to the English word for wrongdoing but is likely derived from a Semitic root. The journey from the Desert of Sin marks a continued reliance on God's guidance and provision, emphasizing the theme of trust in divine leadership.

and camped at Dophkah.
Dophkah is one of the lesser-known stops in the Israelites' wilderness journey. Its exact location is uncertain, but it is believed to be in the Sinai Peninsula. The name Dophkah may mean "knocking" or "overthrown," though its etymology is not entirely clear. This stop is part of the larger narrative of the Israelites' 40-year journey, highlighting the transient nature of their travels and the fulfillment of God's promise to lead them to the Promised Land. The movement from one camp to another reflects the nomadic lifestyle of the Israelites during this period and underscores the importance of obedience and faith in God's plan.
