Subjects in this Topic:
A station in Israel's march (-19): from rethem or retem, the "broom"; KJV "juniper." The same encampment as that at Kadesh (). Rithmah is a descriptive epithet, from the broom abounding there; probably applied to the encampment in this neighborhood in the first march toward Canaan, to distinguish it from the second encampment in the same district, but not the same spot, in the 40th year (-38; -26).
