Contextual Overview

¹These are the camping sites in the journey of the People of Israel after they left Egypt, deployed militarily under the command of Moses and Aaron. Under God 's instruction Moses kept a log of every time they moved, camp by camp: ³They marched out of Rameses the day after the Passover. It was the fifteenth day of the first month. They marched out heads high and confident. The Egyptians, busy burying their firstborn whom God had killed, watched them go. God had exposed the nonsense of their gods. ⁵The People of Israel: left Rameses and camped at Succoth; left Succoth and camped at Etham at the edge of the wilderness; left Etham, circled back to Pi Hahiroth east of Baal Zephon, and camped near Migdol; left Pi Hahiroth and crossed through the Sea into the wilderness; three days into the Wilderness of Etham they camped at Marah; left Marah and came to Elim where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees; they camped there; left Elim and camped by the Red Sea; left the Red Sea and camped in the Wilderness of Sin; left the Wilderness of Sin and camped at Dophkah; left Dophkah and camped at Alush; left Alush and camped at Rephidim where there was no water for the people to drink; left Rephidim and camped in the Wilderness of Sinai; left the Wilderness of Sinai and camped at Kibroth Hattaavah; left Kibroth Hattaavah and camped at Hazeroth; left Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah; left Rithmah and camped at Rimmon Perez; left Rimmon Perez and camped at Libnah; left Libnah and camped at Rissah; left Rissah and camped at Kehelathah; left Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher; left Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah; left Haradah and camped at Makheloth; left Makheloth and camped at Tahath; left Tahath and camped at Terah; left Terah and camped at Mithcah; left Mithcah and camped at Hashmonah; left Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth; left Moseroth and camped at Bene Jaakan; left Bene Jaakan and camped at Hor Haggidgad; left Hor Haggidgad and camped at Jotbathah; left Jotbathah and camped at Abronah; left Abronah and camped at Ezion Geber; left Ezion Geber and camped at Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin. ³⁷After they left Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor at the border of Edom, Aaron the priest climbed Mount Hor at God 's command and died there. It was the first day of the fifth month in the fortieth year after the People of Israel had left Egypt. Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor. ⁴⁰ The Canaanite king of Arad—he ruled in the Negev of Canaan—heard that the People of Israel had arrived. ⁴¹They left Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah; left Zalmonah and camped at Punon; left Punon and camped at Oboth; left Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim on the border of Moab; left Iyim and camped at Dibon Gad; left Dibon Gad and camped at Almon Diblathaim; left Almon Diblathaim and camped in the mountains of Abarim (Across-the-River), within sight of Nebo. ⁴⁸After they left the mountains of Abarim they camped on the Plains of Moab at Jordan-Jericho. On the Plains of Moab their camp stretched along the banks of the Jordan from Beth Jeshimoth to Abel Shittim (Acacia Meadow).

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This list was written out by Moses at God’s command Numbers 33:2, doubtless as a memorial of God’s providential care for His people throughout this long and trying period.

Numbers 33:3-6. For these places, see the marginal reference.

Numbers 33:8

Pi-hahiroth - Hebrew “Hahiroth,” but perhaps only by an error of transcription. However, the omitted “pi” is only a common Egyptian prefix.

Wilderness of Etham - i. e., that part of the great wilderness of Shur which adjoined Etham; compare Exodus 15:22 note.

The list of stations up to that at Sinai agrees with the narrative of Exodus except that we have here mentioned Numbers 33:10 an encampment by the Red Sea, and two others, Dophkah and Alush Numbers 33:12-14, which are there omitted. On these places see Exodus 17:1 note.

Numbers 33:16, Numbers 33:17

See the Numbers 11:35 note.

Numbers 33:18

Rithmah - The name of this station is derived from retem, the broom-plant, the “juniper” of the King James Version. This must be the same encampment as that which is said in Numbers 13:26 to have been at Kadesh.

Numbers 33:19

Rimmon-parez - Or rather Rimmon-perez, i. e., “Rimmon (i. e., the Pomegranate) of the Breach.” It may have been here that the sedition of Korah occurred.

Verse 19-36

The stations named are those visited during the years of penal wandering. The determination of their positions is, in many cases, difficult, because during this period there was no definite line of march pursued. But it is probable that the Israelites during this period did not overstep the boundaries of the wilderness of Paran (as defined in Numbers 10:12), except to pass along the adjoining valley of the Arabah; while the tabernacle and organized camp moved about from place to place among them (compare Numbers 20:1).

Rissah, Haradah, and Tahath are probably the same as Rasa, Aradeh, and Elthi of the Roman tables. The position of Hashmonah (Heshmon in Joshua 15:27) in the Azazimeh mountains points out the road followed by the children of Israel to be that which skirts the southwestern extremity of Jebel Magrah.

Numbers 33:34

Ebronah - i. e, “passage.” This station apparently lay on the shore of the Elanitic gulf, at a point where the ebb of the tide left a ford across. Hence, the later Targum renders the word as “fords.”

Numbers 33:35

Ezion-gaber - “Giant’s backbone.” The Wady Ghadhyan, a valley running eastward into the Arabah some miles north of the present head of the Elanitic gulf. A salt marsh which here overspreads a portion of the Arabah may be taken as indicating the limit to which the sea anciently reached; and we may thus infer the existence here in former times of an extensive tidal haven, at the head of which the city of Ezion-geber stood. Here it was that from the time of Solomon onward the Jewish navy was constructed 1 Kings 9:26; 1 Kings 22:49.

Numbers 33:41-49

Zalmonah and Punon are stations on the Pilgrim’s road; and the general route is fairly ascertained by a comparison of these verses with Numbers 21:4, etc.
