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, a recurring theme throughout the Book of Numbers. The Hebrew root for "set out" is "nasa," which means to pull up, especially the tent stakes, and by extension, to journey. This reflects the transient nature of the Israelites' existence during their wilderness wanderings, symbolizing the Christian journey of faith, where believers are called to move forward in obedience to God's leading.

from Oboth
Oboth is one of the many encampments of the Israelites during their 40-year journey in the wilderness. The name "Oboth" is derived from the Hebrew "Ovoth," which may mean "waterskins" or "bottles," possibly indicating a place where water was stored or found. This highlights God's provision for His people even in desolate places, reminding believers of God's faithfulness and sustenance in times of need.

and camped
The act of camping signifies a temporary dwelling, a pause in the journey. The Hebrew word "chanah" is used here, meaning to pitch a tent or encamp. This reflects the temporary nature of life on earth for believers, who are described in the New Testament as "strangers and pilgrims" (1 Peter 2:11). It serves as a reminder to hold loosely to the things of this world and to focus on the eternal.

at Iye-abarim
Iye-abarim, meaning "ruins of Abarim," is a location on the eastern side of the Jordan River. The name suggests a place of desolation or ruins, yet it is here that the Israelites camped. This can be seen as a metaphor for how God can bring life and purpose even in places that seem desolate or ruined. It encourages believers to trust in God's ability to transform and redeem difficult circumstances.

on the border of Moab
Moab was a neighboring nation to Israel, often in conflict with them. The border signifies a boundary, a place of transition. In the biblical narrative, Moab represents both a physical and spiritual boundary. The Israelites' proximity to Moab serves as a reminder of the constant presence of external influences and temptations. For Christians, it underscores the importance of spiritual vigilance and the need to remain distinct from worldly influences while living in close proximity to them.

Verse 44. - Oboth... Ije-abarim. See on Numbers 21:11.
