They set out from Ezion-geber
The phrase "They set out" indicates the Israelites' continued journey through the wilderness, a journey marked by obedience to God's command and reliance on His guidance. The Hebrew root for "set out" is "nasa," which means to pull up, especially the tent pegs, signifying a readiness to move forward. "Ezion-geber" is a location of significant historical and geographical interest. It was a port city near the Red Sea, known for its trade and maritime activities. The name itself means "backbone of a man," possibly referring to the rugged terrain or the strength of the city. This departure from a place of trade and potential comfort underscores the Israelites' trust in God's plan over worldly security.

and camped at Kadesh
The act of "camping" reflects a temporary pause in their journey, a time for rest and reflection. The Hebrew word "chanah" implies pitching a tent, suggesting a period of dwelling and community gathering. "Kadesh" is a place of great significance in Israel's history. It was here that the Israelites faced pivotal moments of decision and rebellion. The name "Kadesh" means "holy" or "sacred," indicating its importance as a spiritual landmark. This location served as a testing ground for the Israelites' faith and obedience to God.

in the Wilderness of Zin
The "Wilderness of Zin" represents a harsh and challenging environment, a place of trial and testing. The Hebrew word "midbar" for "wilderness" conveys a sense of desolation and barrenness, yet it is also a place where God provided for His people and revealed His power. "Zin" is thought to mean "flat" or "plateau," describing the geographical features of the area. This wilderness journey symbolizes the spiritual journey of believers, who often find themselves in difficult circumstances but are called to trust in God's provision and guidance. The Wilderness of Zin serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness in the midst of adversity and His ability to transform desolation into a place of divine encounter.

Verse 36. - The wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. See on chapter Numbers 20:1.
