Study note
Setting — The text records the Israelites' departure from Hazeroth and their subsequent encampment at Rithmah during the wilderness journey. This entry follows the previous station at Hazeroth and precedes the next departure toward Rimmon-perez.
The words — The narrative employs וַ/יִּסְע֖וּ (va/i.yis.'U) to state "they set out" and וַֽ/יַּחֲנ֖וּ (va/i.ya.cha.Nu) to state "they encamped." These verbs structurally mark the transition from one named location to the next.
The thread — The movement from Hazeroth to Rithmah continues the sequential itinerary pattern established in Numbers 33:17 and Numbers 33:19. The departure from Hazeroth also appears in Numbers 12:16, which records the group camping in the Wilderness of Paran afterward.
Why it lands — The text states the exact locations and sequence of movement without commentary. It requires the reader to track the documented stations and recognize the precise order of the journey.
