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 willingness to follow His guidance, even when the destination is unknown. It serves as a metaphor for the Christian life, where believers are called to step out in faith, trusting in God's plan.

from Punon
Punon is believed to be a location in the region of Edom, known for its copper mines. The name "Punon" is derived from the Hebrew root "pun," which means to be perplexed or to toil. This could symbolize the struggles and labor the Israelites faced during their journey. Historically, Punon was a place of industry and hard work, reminding believers that life's journey often involves toil and perseverance, yet God is present in every step.

and camped
The act of camping signifies a temporary resting place, a pause in the journey. The Hebrew word "chanah" means to pitch a tent or encamp, suggesting a time of rest and reflection. In the wilderness journey, these camps were places where the Israelites could regroup, worship, and receive further instructions from God. Spiritually, it represents moments in life where believers are called to rest in God's presence, recharge, and prepare for the next phase of their journey.

at Oboth
Oboth is another station in the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. The name "Oboth" is derived from the Hebrew "obot," meaning "waterskins" or "bottles," possibly indicating a place where water was stored or found. This location highlights God's provision for His people in the desert, a reminder of His faithfulness and care. In a broader sense, Oboth symbolizes the sustenance and spiritual nourishment God provides to His followers, even in the most barren and challenging times.

(43, 44) And pitched in Oboth . . . --See Numbers 21:10-11.
