Numbers 33
1. The forty-two journeys of the Israelites
50. The Canaanites are to be destroyed














They set out
This phrase indicates a deliberate action taken by the Israelites under the leadership of Moses. The Hebrew root for "set out" is "nasa," which means to pull up, especially the tent pegs, and thus to start on a journey. This action signifies obedience to God's command and a readiness to follow His guidance. It reflects the transient nature of the Israelites' journey, emphasizing their dependence on God for direction and sustenance.

from Rephidim
Rephidim is a significant location in the Israelites' journey. It was here that they experienced God's provision of water from the rock and victory over the Amalekites. The name "Rephidim" is thought to mean "supports" or "rests," which is ironic given the challenges they faced there. This highlights the theme of God's provision and protection even in places of trial and testing.

and camped
The act of camping suggests a temporary dwelling, a pause in their journey. The Hebrew word "chanah" means to pitch a tent or encamp. This reflects the nomadic lifestyle of the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings. It also symbolizes a time of rest and preparation for what lies ahead, a moment to reflect on God's faithfulness and to receive His instructions.

in the Wilderness of Sinai
The Wilderness of Sinai is a place of profound spiritual significance. It is here that the Israelites received the Law, the Ten Commandments, and entered into a covenant relationship with God. The Hebrew word "midbar" for wilderness can also mean "a place of speaking," which is fitting as it was in Sinai that God spoke to His people. This wilderness represents both a physical and spiritual journey, a place of testing, revelation, and transformation. It underscores the idea that God often uses wilderness experiences to draw His people closer to Him and to prepare them for their future.

Verse 15. - The wilderness of Sinai. See on Exodus 19:1.
