They set out from Mithkah
Mithkah is one of the many stations listed in the Israelites' wilderness journey. The name "Mithkah" means "sweetness," which may suggest a place of refreshment or rest. This stage in their journey reflects the ongoing process of moving towards the Promised Land, emphasizing the transient nature of their travels. The Israelites' journey from Egypt to Canaan is a physical representation of the spiritual journey of faith, moving from bondage to freedom. This movement can be seen as a type of the Christian journey from sin to salvation.

and camped at Hashmonah
Hashmonah is another station in the wilderness journey, though its exact location is not definitively known today. The name "Hashmonah" may mean "fertile" or "fruitful," indicating a place of sustenance. This stop signifies a temporary resting place, highlighting the Israelites' reliance on God's provision throughout their journey. The movement from Mithkah to Hashmonah is part of the larger narrative of God's faithfulness in guiding and providing for His people. This journey can be seen as a foreshadowing of the Christian's reliance on Christ, the ultimate provider and sustainer. The Israelites' journey through the wilderness is often paralleled with the believer's journey through life, with each stop representing different stages of spiritual growth and dependence on God.
