This term indicates not just physical travel but also spiritual progress and transformation. The Israelites' journeys symbolize the Christian life, a pilgrimage of faith and growth. Each stage of their journey reflects a step in the believer's walk with God, marked by trials, learning, and divine encounters.<p><b>of the Israelites</b><br />The term "Israelites" refers to the descendants of Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. This name signifies "God prevails" or "he struggles with God," highlighting the covenant relationship between God and His chosen people. The Israelites' identity is rooted in their covenant with God, reminding believers of their identity in Christ and their call to live as God's people.<p><b>who came out of the land of Egypt</b><br />Egypt, in Hebrew "מִצְרַיִם" (Mitzrayim), symbolizes bondage and sin. The Israelites' exodus from Egypt represents deliverance and redemption, a foreshadowing of Christ's redemptive work. For Christians, this signifies liberation from the bondage of sin and the beginning of a new life in Christ, emphasizing the transformative power of God's salvation.<p><b>by their divisions</b><br />The phrase "by their divisions" refers to the organized groups or tribes of Israel. The Hebrew word "לְצִבְאֹתָם" (le-tziv'otam) implies order and structure, reflecting God's design for community and fellowship. This organization underscores the importance of unity and cooperation among God's people, as well as the diversity of gifts and roles within the body of Christ.<p><b>under the leadership of Moses and Aaron</b><br />Moses and Aaron were chosen by God to lead the Israelites. Moses, whose name means "drawn out," was a prophet and lawgiver, while Aaron, meaning "exalted," served as the first high priest. Their leadership exemplifies God's provision of guidance and intercession for His people. In the Christian context, this points to Christ as the ultimate leader and high priest, guiding believers through the Holy Spirit and interceding on their behalf before the Father.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/numbers/33.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div><span class= "bld">XXXIII</span>.<p>(1) <span class= "bld">These are the journeys of the children of Israel . . . --</span>The word which is rendered <span class= "ital">journey </span>appears to denote primarily <span class= "ital">the breaking up </span>of the encampments, which lasted for very different periods, and which, during the protracted wanderings in the wilderness, may have been of the average duration of a twelvemonth.
