The name Zalmonah is derived from a root meaning "shady" or "dark," which may suggest a place of refuge or protection. This stage of the journey reflects the Israelites' continued reliance on God's guidance through the wilderness. The movement from one encampment to another signifies the transient nature of their journey and the need for obedience to God's direction. This phrase also highlights the importance of following God's timing and plan, as the Israelites did not move until the cloud lifted from the tabernacle (<a href="/numbers/9-17.htm">Numbers 9:17-23</a>).<p><b>and camped at Punon</b><br>Punon is identified as a location in the region of Edom, which is southeast of the Dead Sea. It is historically known for its copper mines, indicating a place of industry and labor. The Israelites' encampment here may symbolize a period of rest and preparation before continuing their journey. The mention of Punon connects to the broader narrative of the Israelites' journey through hostile territories, as Edom was a region they were not allowed to pass through peacefully (<a href="/numbers/20-14.htm">Numbers 20:14-21</a>). This encampment can also be seen as a reminder of God's provision and protection, as He led them through challenging environments. The journey from Zalmonah to Punon is part of the larger narrative of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and their eventual entry into the Promised Land, reflecting themes of faith, perseverance, and divine guidance.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/z/zalmonah.htm">Zalmonah</a></b><br>A location in the wilderness where the Israelites camped during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land.
