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














They set out
This phrase indicates the movement and 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 command and the transient nature of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. It serves as a metaphor for the Christian life, which is often described as a pilgrimage or journey toward the Promised Land, symbolizing heaven.

from Mithkah
Mithkah, meaning "sweetness" in Hebrew, is one of the many stations in the wilderness where the Israelites camped. The name suggests a place of refreshment or rest, possibly indicating a location where the Israelites experienced God's provision in a tangible way. This can be seen as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the sweetness of His presence even in the midst of trials and wanderings.

and camped
The act of camping signifies a temporary dwelling, a pause in the journey. The Hebrew word "chanah" is used here, which means to pitch a tent or encamp. This reflects the nomadic lifestyle of the Israelites during their 40 years in the wilderness. Spiritually, it reminds believers of the temporary nature of earthly life and the importance of finding rest and refuge in God amidst life's journey.

at Hashmonah
Hashmonah, whose name may mean "fertile" or "fruitful," is another station in the wilderness journey. The name itself suggests a place of growth or abundance, possibly indicating a location where the Israelites experienced God's blessings. This can be seen as a symbol of spiritual growth and fruitfulness that comes from abiding in God's will and trusting in His provision. Historically, the exact location of Hashmonah is uncertain, but its mention in the journey underscores the varied experiences of the Israelites as they moved toward the Promised Land.
