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, emphasizing the importance of faith and trust in God's plan.

from Zalmonah
Zalmonah is one of the many encampments of the Israelites during their 40-year journey in the wilderness. The name "Zalmonah" is derived from the Hebrew root "tsalmon," which can mean "shady" or "gloomy." This could symbolize a period of trial or difficulty, reminding believers that even in challenging times, God is present and leading His people towards His promises.

and camped
The act of camping signifies a temporary halt in their journey, a time for rest and reflection. The Hebrew word "chanah" is used here, which means to pitch a tent or encamp. This reflects the transient nature of life and the importance of finding rest in God's presence, even amidst the journey. It is a reminder of the need for spiritual rest and renewal.

at Punon
Punon is another station in the Israelites' wilderness journey. The name "Punon" is believed to be related to the Hebrew word "pun," meaning "darkness" or "perplexity." This could indicate a place of testing or uncertainty. Historically, Punon was known for its copper mines, suggesting a place of labor and refining. Spiritually, it represents the refining process believers undergo, where faith is tested and strengthened.

Verse 42. - Punon. Perhaps connected with the Pinon of Genesis 36:41. The Septuagint has Φινώ, and it is identified by Eusebius and Jerome with Phaeno, a place between Petra and Zoar where convicts were sent to labour in the mines. Probably, however, the march of the Israelites lay further to the east, inasmuch as they scrupulously abstained from trespassing upon Edom.
