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 signifies obedience to God's command and a readiness to follow His guidance. It reflects the transient nature of life and the call to trust in God's provision and direction.

from Mount Hor
Mount Hor is significant in the biblical narrative as the place where Aaron, the brother of Moses, died and was buried (Numbers 20:22-29). The mountain represents a place of transition and loss, yet also a place of divine encounter and fulfillment of God's promises. Historically, Mount Hor is identified with a peak in the Edomite range, emphasizing the Israelites' journey through challenging and foreign territories.

and camped
The act of camping suggests a temporary dwelling, a pause in the journey. The Hebrew word "chanah" implies pitching a tent, resting, and preparing for the next stage. This reflects the Israelites' dependence on God's timing and provision. It is a reminder of the pilgrim nature of the Christian life, where believers are called to be in the world but not of it, always ready to move as God directs.

at Zalmonah
Zalmonah is one of the many stations in the wilderness journey of the Israelites. The name itself is derived from the Hebrew root "tselem," meaning "shadow" or "image." This could symbolize a place of reflection or a shadow of things to come, pointing to the spiritual journey of transformation and growth. Archaeologically, the exact location of Zalmonah is uncertain, but its mention underscores the historical reality of the Israelites' wanderings and God's faithfulness in leading them through each stage.

Verse 41. - Zalmonah. This place is not elsewhere mentioned, and cannot be identified. Either this or Punon may be the encampment where the brazen serpent was set up; according to the Targum of Palestine it was the latter.
