Numbers 33:19They traveled from Rithmah, and encamped in Rimmon Perez.
The setting
Sinai Peninsula, ~1445 BC. Another dawn, another breakdown of the massive camp. Rimmon Perez means 'pomegranate of the breach' - possibly named for a conflict or splitting that happened there, now in modern-day Egypt.
The emotion here: patient dedication recording each step of an epic 40-year journey
The original word
nasa (נָסַע) — to pull up tent pegs, uproot, journey forward with purpose
Why it matters
Rimmon Perez is only mentioned here - some wilderness stops were so brief they left no other trace in history
