    Description

    Mithkah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Mithkah is mentioned in Numbers 33:28-29 as one of the places where the Israelites camped during their wilderness wanderings after leaving Egypt. It is listed between Terah and Hashmonah in the itinerary of the Israelites' journey. The Biblical text does not provide any specific details about Mithkah, such as its geographical features or any notable events that occurred there. Its inclusion in the list of campsites suggests that it was a stopping point for the Israelites as they traversed the wilderness under the leadership of Moses.
