They set out from Tahath
Tahath is one of the many stations listed in the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. The name Tahath means "beneath" or "low place," which may symbolize a period of humility or testing for the Israelites. This journey is part of the larger narrative of the Exodus, where God leads His people from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land. The movement from one location to another signifies obedience to God's guidance, as the Israelites followed the cloud by day and the fire by night (Exodus 13:21-22). This phrase highlights the transient nature of the Israelites' journey, reflecting the Christian life as a pilgrimage toward a heavenly home (Hebrews 11:13-16).

and camped at Terah.
Terah is another encampment in the wilderness journey, though little is known about its exact location. The name Terah is also the name of Abraham's father, which may evoke themes of faith and covenant. The act of camping signifies a temporary rest and provision from God, as He supplied the Israelites with manna and quail (Exodus 16). This stop in their journey can be seen as a time of preparation and reflection, much like the Christian practice of Sabbath rest, which allows believers to focus on God's provision and promises. The Israelites' journey from place to place can be seen as a type of the Christian journey, where each step is guided by faith and trust in God's promises (2 Corinthians 5:7).
