After that
This phrase marks a transition from the preceding events, specifically the resolution of Miriam and Aaron's challenge to Moses' leadership. The Hebrew root here implies a sequence of events, suggesting that the Israelites' journey is part of a divinely orchestrated plan. It reminds us that God's timing is perfect, and His plans unfold in His own time, often following periods of trial or correction.

the people
Referring to the Israelites, this phrase underscores the collective nature of God's covenant community. The Hebrew word "am" signifies a group bound together by shared identity and purpose. This highlights the importance of unity and obedience within the body of believers, as they journey together under God's guidance.

set out
The Hebrew verb "nasa" conveys the action of breaking camp and moving forward. This movement is not just physical but also spiritual, symbolizing progress in their journey towards the Promised Land. It serves as a metaphor for the Christian life, where believers are called to leave behind past sins and continually move forward in faith and obedience.

from Hazeroth
Hazeroth, meaning "enclosures" or "settlements," was a significant stop in the Israelites' wilderness journey. Archaeological evidence suggests it was a place of temporary dwelling, reminding us that our earthly life is transient. Spiritually, it represents times of rest and reflection before God calls us to move forward.

and camped
The act of camping, or "chanah" in Hebrew, indicates a temporary pause in their journey. It is a time for rest, reflection, and preparation for the next stage. In the Christian walk, these moments are crucial for spiritual renewal and seeking God's direction.

in the Wilderness of Paran
Paran, a vast desert region, is historically and geographically significant. It was a place of testing and revelation for the Israelites. The wilderness experience is a recurring biblical theme, symbolizing trials that refine faith and dependence on God. For believers, it is a reminder that God is present even in desolate times, providing guidance and sustenance.

(16) In the wilderness of Paran.--See Note on Numbers 10:12. It appears from the 26th verse of the following chapter that the encampment was at Kadesh, which has been supposed by some to be identical with Rithniah (Numbers 33:18).

Verse 16. - In the wilderness of Paran. It is somewhat strange that this note of place should be used a second time without explanation (see chapter Numbers 10:12, 33). Probably it is intended to mark the fact that they were still within the limits of Paran, although on the very verge of their promised laud. In the list of stations given in chapter Numbers 33, it is said (verse 18), "They departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah." This is with some probability identified with the Wady Redemat, which opens front the mountain mass of the Azazimat into the singular plain of Kudes, or Kadesh, the scene of the decisive events which followed.
