The name "Kehelathah" is derived from the Hebrew root "kahal," meaning "assembly" or "congregation," suggesting a place of gathering or assembly.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>Kehelathah is referenced in the context of the Israelites' journey in the wilderness. In <a href="/bsb/numbers/33.htm">Numbers 33</a>, a detailed itinerary of the stages of the Israelites' journey is provided. Kehelathah is listed as one of the stops:<br><br>· "They set out from Makheloth and camped at Tahath. They set out from Tahath and camped at Terah. They set out from Terah and camped at Mithkah. They set out from Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah. They set out from Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth. They set out from Moseroth and camped at Bene-jaakan. They set out from Bene-jaakan and camped at Hor-haggidgad. They set out from Hor-haggidgad and camped at Jotbathah. They set out from Jotbathah and camped at Abronah. They set out from Abronah and camped at Ezion-geber. They set out from Ezion-geber and camped in the Wilderness of Zin, that is, Kadesh." (<a href="/numbers/33-25.htm">Numbers 33:25-36</a>)<br><br>Kehelathah is mentioned in <a href="/numbers/33-24.htm">Numbers 33:24-25</a>: "They set out from Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah. They set out from Haradah and camped at Makheloth. They set out from Makheloth and camped at Tahath."<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b><br><br>The exact location of Kehelathah is not definitively known today, and it is not mentioned outside the itinerary in <a href="/bsb/numbers/33.htm">Numbers 33</a>. Like many of the stations listed in the wilderness journey, Kehelathah's precise geographical location remains a subject of scholarly research and debate. The journey of the Israelites through the wilderness is marked by numerous encampments, each representing a stage in their journey of faith and reliance on God's provision.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The mention of Kehelathah, along with other encampments, serves to underscore the faithfulness of God in guiding the Israelites through the wilderness. Each stop on their journey is a testament to God's presence and provision, as He led them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night (<a href="/exodus/13-21.htm">Exodus 13:21-22</a>). The journey from Egypt to the Promised Land is symbolic of the spiritual journey of believers, emphasizing themes of trust, obedience, and divine guidance.<br><br>The detailed record of the Israelites' journey, including the stop at Kehelathah, also highlights the importance of remembering God's past faithfulness. The recounting of these stages serves as a reminder to future generations of the trials and triumphs experienced by the Israelites and the steadfastness of God in fulfilling His promises.<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Context:</b><br><br>In the broader cultural and religious context of the Israelites, the journey through the wilderness was a formative period that shaped their identity as God's chosen people. The encampments, including Kehelathah, were not merely physical locations but also spiritual milestones that contributed to the development of Israel's covenant relationship with God. The wilderness journey is a recurring theme in biblical literature, symbolizing purification, testing, and preparation for entering into the fullness of God's promises.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Kehelathah</span><p>(<i>assembly</i>), a desert encampment of the Israelites, (<a href="/numbers/33-22.htm">Numbers 33:22</a>) of which nothing is known.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Assembly, one of the stations of the Israelites in the desert (<a href="/numbers/33-22.htm">Numbers 33:22</a>, 23). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">KEHELATHAH</span><p>ke-he-la'-tha, ke-hel'-a-tha (qehlathah, "gathering," "assembly"): A desert camp of the Israelites between Rissah and Mt.
