The name "Ebronah" is derived from the Hebrew root "עָבַר" (avar), meaning "to pass over" or "to cross," which may suggest its significance as a place of transition or crossing.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>Ebronah is referenced in the context of the Israelites' wilderness wanderings in <a href="/bsb/numbers/33.htm">Numbers 33</a>, which provides a detailed itinerary of their journey. The specific verse mentioning Ebronah is:<br><br>· <a href="/numbers/33-34.htm">Numbers 33:34-35</a> : "They set out from Jotbathah and camped at Abronah. They set out from Abronah and camped at Ezion-geber."<br><br>In this passage, Ebronah is listed as a stop between Jotbathah and Ezion-geber. The sequence of these encampments highlights the Israelites' movement through the desert regions, emphasizing their reliance on God's guidance and provision during their 40-year journey.<br><br><b>Geographical and Historical Context:</b><br><br>The exact location of Ebronah is not definitively known today, and it is not mentioned outside the itinerary in <a href="/bsb/numbers/33.htm">Numbers 33</a>. However, it is generally considered to be situated in the region of the Sinai Peninsula or the northwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula, based on its placement between Jotbathah and Ezion-geber. Ezion-geber is often identified with a location near the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba, suggesting that Ebronah was in proximity to this area.<br><br>The historical context of Ebronah, like many of the wilderness encampments, underscores the nomadic lifestyle of the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt. Each encampment served as a temporary dwelling place, reflecting the transient nature of their journey and their dependence on divine direction.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>Ebronah, as part of the wilderness itinerary, contributes to the broader narrative of the Israelites' exodus and their covenant relationship with God. The journey through the wilderness is a period of testing, purification, and preparation for entering the Promised Land. Each encampment, including Ebronah, represents a step in this transformative process.<br><br>Theologically, the wilderness journey, with its various stops, including Ebronah, is often seen as a metaphor for the spiritual journey of believers. It symbolizes the trials and growth experienced in the life of faith, emphasizing themes of trust, obedience, and reliance on God's provision.<br><br>In summary, while Ebronah itself is a brief mention in the biblical text, its inclusion in the wilderness itinerary serves as a reminder of the Israelites' journey and the lessons of faith and perseverance that are central to the biblical narrative.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ebronah</span><p>passage over; being angry<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ebronah</span><p>(<i>passage</i>), one of the halting-places of the Israelites in the desert, immediately preceding Ezion-geber.
