Etam
Beskrywing
Etam — moontlik 'n ander naam vir Khetam, of “vesting,” aan die Shur of groot muur van Egipte, wat van die Middellandse See tot by die Golf van Suez gestrek het. Hier het die Israeliete hul derde kamp opgeslaan [Eks 13:20 ; Nm 33:6]. Die kamp was waarskynlik 'n bietjie wes van die moderne stad Ismailia. Hier is die Israeliete beveel om hul roete te verander [Eks 14:2 ], en “draai” na die suide, en kamp op voor Pi-hahirot. (Sien EKSKODUS ; PITOM.)

Etham
perhaps another name for Khetam, or "fortress," on the Shur or great wall of Egypt, which extended from the Mediterranean to the Gulf of Suez. Here the Israelites made their third encampment (Ex 13:20; Num 33:6 ). The camp was probably a little to the west of the modern town of Ismailia. Here the Israelites were commanded to change their route (Ex 14:2), and "turn" towards the south, and encamp before Pi-hahiroth. (See EXODUS; PITHOM)
