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














They set out
This phrase indicates movement and transition, a common theme in the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. The Hebrew root for "set out" is "nasa," which means to pull up, especially the tent pegs, signifying the beginning of a journey. This action reflects obedience to God's command and a readiness to follow His guidance. It is a reminder of the Christian life as a pilgrimage, where believers are called to be ready to move and follow God's leading, leaving behind the familiar for the promise of His provision and presence.

from Abronah
Abronah is one of the lesser-known stops in the Israelites' journey. The name "Abronah" is derived from the Hebrew root "abar," meaning to pass over or through. This suggests a place of transition, a crossing point in their journey. Historically, the exact location of Abronah is uncertain, but it is believed to be near the Gulf of Aqaba. This stop signifies a moment of preparation and transition, reminding believers of the times when God leads them through unknown territories, preparing them for what lies ahead.

and camped
The act of camping signifies a temporary dwelling, a pause in the journey. The Hebrew word "chanah" means to pitch a tent or encamp. This reflects the transient nature of the Israelites' journey and, by extension, the Christian life. It is a reminder that our time on earth is temporary, and we are to live as sojourners, with our eyes set on the eternal home promised by God. Camping also implies rest and reflection, a time to seek God's presence and guidance before moving forward.

at Ezion-geber
Ezion-geber is a significant location in the Israelites' journey, situated near the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba. The name "Ezion-geber" can be translated as "backbone of a man" or "giant's backbone," possibly referring to the rugged terrain of the area. Historically, Ezion-geber was an important port city during the reign of Solomon, known for its trade and shipbuilding. This location represents a place of strength and provision, a reminder of God's faithfulness in providing for His people. It encourages believers to trust in God's strength and provision, even in challenging and unfamiliar circumstances.

Verse 35. - Ezion-gaber, or rather "Etsion-geber," the "giant's backbone." This can hardly be other than the place mentioned in 1 Kings 9:26; 2 Chronicles 8:17 as the harbour of King Solomon's merchant navy. At this later date it was at the head of the navigable waters of the Elanitic Gulf, but considerable changes have taken place in the shore line since the age of Solomon, and no doubt similar changes took place before. It was known to, and at times occupied by, the Egyptians, and the wretched village which occupies the site is still called Aszium by the Arabs. The name itself would seem to be due to some peculiar rock formation - probably the serrated crest either of a neighbouring mountain or of a half-submerged reef.
