The Hebrew root for "set out" is "nasa," which means to pull up, especially the tent pegs, indicating the nomadic lifestyle of the Israelites. This action symbolizes obedience and readiness to follow God's guidance, leaving behind the familiar and stepping into the unknown. It reflects the Christian call to be pilgrims in this world, always ready to move as God directs.<p><b>from Succoth</b><br />Succoth, meaning "booths" or "temporary shelters," was the first stop after the Israelites left Egypt. Historically, it represents a place of transition from slavery to freedom. Archaeologically, Succoth is believed to be located in the eastern Nile Delta, a region that was part of the Egyptian empire. Spiritually, it signifies the initial steps of faith and trust in God's deliverance, a reminder of the temporary nature of earthly dwellings compared to the eternal home promised by God.<p><b>and camped</b><br />The act of camping suggests a temporary halt, a time for rest and reflection. The Hebrew word "chanah" implies pitching a tent, which is a recurring activity for the Israelites during their wilderness journey. This pause is essential for spiritual renewal and preparation for the next phase of the journey. It teaches the importance of finding moments of rest in God's presence amidst life's transitions.<p><b>at Etham</b><br />Etham, meaning "with them" or "their plowshare," is located on the edge of the wilderness. It represents a boundary between the known and the unknown, a place of decision and trust. Historically, Etham is thought to be near the eastern border of Egypt, marking the transition into the wilderness. This location challenges believers to trust in God's provision and guidance as they step into new territories of faith.<p><b>on the edge of the wilderness</b><br />The wilderness, or "midbar" in Hebrew, is a place of testing, transformation, and revelation. It is where God shapes His people, teaching them reliance on Him alone. The edge of the wilderness signifies a threshold, a point of entry into a period of divine testing and growth. For Christians, it symbolizes the trials and challenges that refine faith and character, drawing them closer to God and His purposes.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/33.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 6.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Etham.</span> See on Exodus 13:20. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/33-6.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">They set out</span><br /><span class="heb">וַיִּסְע֖וּ</span> <span class="translit">(way·yis·‘ū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5265.htm">Strong's 5265: </a> </span><span class="str2">To pull up, the tent-pins, start on a, journey</span><br /><br /><span class="word">from Succoth</span><br /><span class="heb">מִסֻּכֹּ֑ת</span> <span class="translit">(mis·suk·kōṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-m | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5523.htm">Strong's 5523: </a> </span><span class="str2">Succoth -- a city East of the Jordan, also a place in Egypt</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and camped</span><br /><span class="heb">וַיַּחֲנ֣וּ</span> <span class="translit">(way·ya·ḥă·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2583.htm">Strong's 2583: </a> </span><span class="str2">To incline, to decline, to pitch a, tent, gen, to encamp</span><br /><br /><span class="word">at Etham,</span><br /><span class="heb">בְאֵתָ֔ם</span> <span class="translit">(ḇə·’ê·ṯām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_864.htm">Strong's 864: </a> </span><span class="str2">Etham -- a place in Egypt</span><br /><br /><span class="word">on the edge</span><br /><span class="heb">בִּקְצֵ֥ה</span> <span class="translit">(biq·ṣêh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7097.htm">Strong's 7097: </a> </span><span class="str2">End, extremity</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of the wilderness.</span><br /><span class="heb">הַמִּדְבָּֽר׃</span> <span class="translit">(ham·miḏ·bār)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4057.htm">Strong's 4057: </a> </span><span class="str2">A pasture, a desert, speech</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/numbers/33-6.htm">Numbers 33:6 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/numbers/33-6.htm">Numbers 33:6 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/numbers/33-6.htm">Numbers 33:6 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/numbers/33-6.htm">Numbers 33:6 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/numbers/33-6.htm">Numbers 33:6 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/numbers/33-6.htm">Numbers 33:6 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/numbers/33-6.htm">Numbers 33:6 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/numbers/33-6.htm">Numbers 33:6 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/numbers/33-6.htm">Numbers 33:6 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/numbers/33-6.htm">Numbers 33:6 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/numbers/33-6.htm">OT Law: Numbers 33:6 They traveled from Succoth and encamped (Nu Num.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/numbers/33-5.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Numbers 33:5"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Numbers 33:5" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/numbers/33-7.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Numbers 33:7"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Numbers 33:7" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
