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














They set out
This phrase indicates a movement or transition, a common theme in the journey of the Israelites. 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 reflects obedience to God's guidance, as the Israelites followed the cloud by day and the fire by night. It is a reminder of the Christian journey, where believers are called to move forward in faith, trusting in God's direction.

from Elim
Elim was a place of rest and refreshment, known for its twelve springs and seventy palm trees (Exodus 15:27). The name "Elim" itself suggests a place of strong trees or mighty ones. Historically, Elim represents a temporary oasis in the wilderness, a place where God provided for His people. Spiritually, it symbolizes times of refreshment and renewal in the believer's life, where God provides sustenance and strength for the journey 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, as they were sojourners in the wilderness. For Christians, it serves as a metaphor for our earthly life, reminding us that we are pilgrims and our true home is with God.

by the Red Sea
The Red Sea, or "Yam Suph" in Hebrew, is a significant location in the biblical narrative. It is the site of God's miraculous deliverance of the Israelites from the Egyptians (Exodus 14). The Red Sea represents both a barrier and a passage, a place of testing and triumph. In the Christian life, it symbolizes the trials we face and the deliverance God provides. It is a reminder of God's power and faithfulness, encouraging believers to trust in His ability to make a way where there seems to be none.

Verse 10. - Encamped by the Red Sea. This encampment, like those at Dophkah and at Alush (verse 13), is not mentioned in the narrative of Exodus. The phraseology, however, used in Exodus 16:1; Exodus 17:1 leaves abundant room for intermediate halting-places, at which it is to be presumed that nothing very noteworthy happened Nothing whatever is known of these three stations.
