Where is Rimmon-perez in the Bible?
Rimmon-perez was a camping location where the Israelites stopped during their wilderness journey from Egypt to Canaan, as recorded in Numbers 33:19-20. The name likely derives from either the abundance of pomegranates in the region or from the Hebrew word "ramam," meaning "to be high," suggesting a prominent elevated location. While the exact modern geographical location remains uncertain, this site represents one of many stations the Israelites occupied during their forty years of wandering in the desert. The place is significant as a marker of God's provision and guidance throughout the Israelites' extended journey toward the Promised Land.
