Verse 40 is found in chapter 33 of Numbers. The record of the stages of the journey from Egypt to the plains of Moab functions as a geographical memory of the wilderness journey. Each place recalls a specific stage in Israel’s history. The list turns the wilderness into a sequence of memorable events and prepares the people to contemplate the path they have traveled before entering the promised land.
