The name "Dizahab" is found in <a href="/deuteronomy/1.htm">Deuteronomy 1:1</a>, which states: "These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan—in the Arabah opposite Suph—between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab." <br><br><b>Etymology and Meaning</b><br><br>The name "Dizahab" is believed to mean "abundance of gold" or "region of gold." This etymology suggests that the area may have been known for its wealth or resources, particularly in terms of gold. The name itself reflects the significance of the location in terms of material wealth, which may have been notable to the Israelites during their travels.<br><br><b>Geographical Context</b><br><br>Dizahab is mentioned as one of the locations in the wilderness where Moses addressed the Israelites. The precise geographical location of Dizahab is not definitively known today, and it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. However, it is listed among other locations that are situated in the region east of the Jordan River, in the Arabah, which is a desert region extending from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Significance</b><br><br>The mention of Dizahab in <a href="/deuteronomy/1.htm">Deuteronomy 1:1</a> is part of the introduction to Moses' speech to the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. This speech serves as a recounting of their journey and a reminder of God's faithfulness and the covenantal laws they are to uphold. The reference to Dizahab, along with other locations, situates the narrative in a real historical and geographical context, emphasizing the tangible journey of the Israelites.<br><br>From a theological perspective, the mention of Dizahab, meaning "abundance of gold," can be seen as a reminder of the material wealth that can distract from spiritual obedience and reliance on God. Throughout their journey, the Israelites faced numerous challenges and temptations, including the temptation to rely on material wealth rather than on God's provision.<br><br><b>Biblical Cross-References</b><br><br>While Dizahab itself is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, the themes of wealth and reliance on God are prevalent throughout Scripture. For example, in <a href="/deuteronomy/8-18.htm">Deuteronomy 8:18</a>, Moses reminds the Israelites: "But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers, as it is this day." This verse underscores the idea that material wealth is ultimately a gift from God and should be used in accordance with His will.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Dizahab, though briefly mentioned, serves as a geographical marker in the narrative of the Israelites' journey and a symbolic reminder of the potential distractions of material wealth. Its inclusion in the biblical text highlights the importance of remembering God's provision and faithfulness as the Israelites prepared to enter the land promised to them by God.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Dizahab</span><p>(<i>region of gold</i>), a place in the Arabian desert, mentioned (<a href="/deuteronomy/1-1.htm">1:1</a>) is identified with <i>Dahab</i> , a cape on the western shore of the Gulf of Akabah.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Region of gold, a place in the desert of Sinai, on the western shore of the Elanitic gulf (<a href="/deuteronomy/1-1.htm">Deuteronomy 1:1</a>).

No place in the region has been found with a name suggesting this; and there is no other clue to its identification. Some names in the list are like those of stations earlier in the wanderings. Thinking that one of these may be intended Burckhardt suggested Mina edh-Dhahab, a boat harbor between Ras Mohammad and `Aqaba. Cheyne gets over the difficulty by accepting a suggestion of Sayee that Di-zahab corresponds to Me-zahab (<a href="/genesis/36-39.htm">Genesis 36:39</a>); this latter he then transforms into Mitzraim, and identifies it with the North Arabian Mucri (Encyclopedia Biblica, under the word).
