민수기 33:43의 인용 해설

ויסעו בני ישראל ויחנו באובות. The Jewish people continued journeying and they encamped at Ovot. Their previous encampment had been at Punan as reported in Numbers 33,43.

AND THEY JOURNEYED FROM MOUNT HOR, AND PITCHED IN ZALMONAH. These places — Zalmonah and Punon¹⁵Verse 42 here. — were by the way of the Red Sea circling the land of Edom, and the soul of the people became impatient because of the way,¹⁶Above, 21:4. and they [therefore] spoke against G-d, and Moses¹⁷Ibid., Verse 5. on the way, and G-d sent against them the fiery serpents whilst they were travelling and when they rested in camp. Then Moses made the serpent of brass, which they carried upon a pole¹⁸Ibid., Verse 9. all the way, and [kept it] when they encamped in Zalmonah and Punon, and it was not removed from them until they pitched in Oboth.¹⁹Verse 43 here. Therefore Scripture there, in narrating this episode [of the fiery serpents, above in Chapter 21], did not mention the name of the place [from which they set forth again, i.e., Zalmonah and Punon] and [merely] stated, And the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched in Oboth,²⁰Above, 21:10. without saying “and they journeyed from such-and-such a place and pitched in Oboth,” as it does with all the [other stages of their] journeyings. This is because the matter [of the brass serpent] continued throughout this way — from the time that they journeyed from Mount Hor until they pitched in Oboth, and they journeyed from Oboth and pitched in Ije-abarim.²¹Ibid., Verse 11. — Verse 44 here. From there they journeyed and they pitched in Divon-gad, and then in Almon-diblathaim, and [finally] in the mountains of Abarim,²²Verses 45-47 here. [all these] being places in the valley of Zered.²³Above, 21:12.
