They set out
This phrase indicates the movement and journey of the Israelites, a recurring theme throughout the Book of Numbers. 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 the transient nature of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. It serves as a metaphor for the Christian life, which is often described as a pilgrimage or journey toward the Promised Land, Heaven.

from Kehelathah
Kehelathah is one of the many encampments of the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings. The name "Kehelathah" is derived from the Hebrew root "kahal," meaning assembly or congregation. This reflects the communal aspect of the Israelites' journey, emphasizing the importance of unity and collective faith in God’s promises. It reminds believers today of the significance of the church as a community of faith, journeying together in spiritual growth and mission.

and camped
The act of camping signifies a temporary halt in their journey, a time for rest and reflection. The Hebrew word "chanah" is used here, which means to pitch a tent or encamp. This highlights the nomadic lifestyle of the Israelites and their dependence on God's guidance for each step. Spiritually, it suggests the importance of rest and reflection in the Christian life, taking time to seek God's presence and direction.

at Mount Shepher
Mount Shepher is one of the lesser-known locations mentioned in the Israelites' journey. The name "Shepher" means "beauty" or "goodness" in Hebrew, suggesting a place of pleasantness or divine favor. This can be seen as a symbol of the blessings and beauty found in following God's path, even in the midst of a challenging journey. It serves as a reminder that God provides moments of beauty and grace along the way, encouraging believers to trust in His provision and timing.
