They set out from Terah and camped at Mithkah
They set out
The phrase "They set out" indicates a movement, a journey undertaken by the Israelites. In Hebrew, the root word 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 command and a willingness to follow His guidance. It is a reminder of the transient nature of life and the call to trust in God's provision and direction, as the Israelites did in their wilderness journey.

from Terah
"Terah" is one of the many encampments of the Israelites during their 40-year journey in the wilderness. The name "Terah" is derived from the Hebrew root "tarah," which can mean delay or station. This suggests a place of pause or rest, a necessary stop in the long journey. Historically, each location mentioned in the Israelites' journey holds significance, marking stages of growth, learning, and reliance on God. Terah, like other stops, represents a moment of reflection and preparation for what lies ahead.

and camped
The word "camped" comes from the Hebrew "chanah," meaning to pitch a tent or encamp. This term signifies a temporary dwelling, a place of rest and community. In the context of the Israelites, camping was not just a physical act but a spiritual one, where they gathered as a community to worship, receive instruction, and experience God's presence. It underscores the importance of community and fellowship in the journey of faith.

at Mithkah
"Mithkah" is another encampment site, and its name is derived from the Hebrew root "mithqah," which means sweetness or sweetness of water. This suggests a place of refreshment and renewal, possibly indicating the presence of water or resources that provided relief to the Israelites. In the spiritual journey, Mithkah symbolizes moments of divine refreshment and encouragement, where God provides for His people in unexpected ways. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the sweetness of His provision amidst the challenges of life.
