Numbers 33 is largely a list of names that are difficult to pronounce. Within it lie oases like Elim with its fountains and palm-trees. Israel leaves that oasis here to encamp beside the Red Sea. The verse belongs to the February 26 reading covering Numbers 31 to 33. It teaches that no hidden sin can be concealed from God.
