Where is Rissah in the Bible?

Rissah was a camping site in the Sinai Peninsula where the Israelites stopped during their wilderness journey from Egypt to Canaan, as recorded in Numbers 33:21-22. Located in the southern region of what would become Israel, Rissah served as one of many temporary settlements during the forty-year period of wandering in the desert. While little is known about the specific geographical features of this location, its mention in the detailed itinerary of Israel's exodus journey underscores the guided nature of their path toward the Promised Land. Rissah represents one of numerous waypoints that marked the Israelites' progress through the wilderness under God's direction.
