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 serves as a metaphor for the Christian life, where believers are called to be ready to move and act according to God's will.

from Rimmon-perez
Rimmon-perez is one of the many stops in the Israelites' wilderness journey. The name "Rimmon" can be associated with a pomegranate, a fruit symbolizing abundance and blessing in the Bible. "Perez" means breach or breakthrough. Together, the name could symbolize a place of transition from a state of barrenness to one of fruitfulness, reflecting God's provision and the hope of future blessings. This reminds believers of the breakthroughs God provides in their spiritual journey.

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 life and the importance of finding rest and renewal in God's presence. It is a reminder that while the Israelites' journey was long and arduous, God provided places of rest along the way, just as He provides spiritual rest for believers today.

at Libnah
Libnah, meaning "whiteness" or "transparency," was another station in the wilderness journey. The name could symbolize purity and clarity, perhaps indicating a place where the Israelites experienced a clearer understanding of God's presence and purpose. Historically, Libnah was a city later given to the Levites, emphasizing its significance in Israel's spiritual heritage. This highlights the importance of seeking purity and clarity in one's relationship with God, striving to live a life that reflects His holiness.

Verse 20. - Libnah. Hebrew לִבְנָה ("whiteness") may perhaps be the same as the Laban (לָבָן, "white") mentioned in Deuteronomy 1:1. So many places, however, in that region are distinguished by the dazzling whiteness of their limestone cliffs that the identification is quite uncertain. The site of this, as of the next eight stations, is indeed utterly unknown; and the guesses which are founded on the partial and probably accidental similarity of some modern names (themselves differently pronounced by different travelers) are utterly worthless. Of these eight names, Kehelathah and Makheloth seem to be derived from קָהָל, "an assembling," and thus give some slight support to the supposition that during the thirty-eight years the people were scattered abroad, and only assembled from time to time in one place. Rissah is variously interpreted "heap of ruins," or "dew;" Shapher means "fair," or "splendid;" Haradah, or Charadah, is "terror," or "trembling" (cf. 1 Samuel 14:15); Tahath is a "going down," or "depression;" Tarah is "turning," or "delay;" Mithcah signifies "sweetness," and may be compared (in an opposite sense) to Marah.
