Study note
Setting — The narrator addresses the Israelite community immediately following the burial of the cravers at Kibroth-hattaavah. The account records their departure and subsequent stationary period as the wilderness expedition resumes.
The words — The verb נָסְעוּ (na.se.'U) literally means "they set out," denoting the physical departure from the burial site. The phrase וַיִּהְיוּ (va/i.yih.Yu) translates as "and they were," indicating a fixed period of residence at Hazeroth.
The thread — This movement is cross-referenced in Numbers 33:17 as a formal camp itinerary and in Numbers 12:16 as the staging point for the advance into the Wilderness of Paran. Deuteronomy 1:1 later anchors the broader journey phase to these same encampments.
Why it lands — The text states that the people relocated after judgment and paused at a named camp. It requires the reader to track how geographic shifts document the administration of discipline and the pacing of the Exodus route.
