Etam
Penerangan
Etham — mungkin nama lain untuk Khetam, atau “kubu pertahanan,” di Shur atau tembok besar Mesir, yang membentang dari Laut Tengah hingga Teluk Suez. Di sinilah orang Israel mendirikan perkemahan ketiga mereka [Kel 13:20 ; Bil 33:6 ]. Perkemahan tersebut mungkin sedikit ke barat dari bandar moden Ismailia. Di sini orang Israel diperintahkan untuk mengubah laluan mereka [Kel 14:2 ], dan “berpaling” ke arah selatan, dan berkemah di hadapan Pi-hahiroth. (Lihat KELUARAN ; PITHOM.)

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)
