And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
Numbers 33:42 records one stage of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to Canaan, marking departure from Zalmonah and encampment at Punon. That journey and its successive stopping places can be traced on a map of the Sinai peninsula. The verse belongs to a list of encampment names in which most stations have no notable events recorded and little remains of most sites beyond their names.
