Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Tsalmonah, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to a location in the Old Testament.

Usage: Tsalmonah is used as a proper noun referring to a specific location mentioned in the journey of the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings.

Context: Tsalmonah is a station in the wilderness where the Israelites camped during their exodus from Egypt. It is mentioned in the Book of Numbers as part of the detailed itinerary of the Israelites' journey. The name Tsalmonah is thought to reflect the characteristics of the location, possibly indicating a place with significant shade or shadow, which would have been a notable feature in the arid wilderness.

In the biblical narrative, Tsalmonah is listed among the many encampments of the Israelites as they traveled from Mount Sinai to the Promised Land. The specific mention of Tsalmonah is found in Numbers 33:41-42: "They set out from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah. They set out from Zalmonah and camped at Punon." This passage is part of a larger recounting of the stages of the Israelites' journey, emphasizing the faithfulness of God in guiding His people through the wilderness.

The exact location of Tsalmonah is not known today, and it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible outside of the itinerary in Numbers. Its inclusion in the list of encampments serves as a testament to the historical journey of the Israelites and the divine provision they experienced along the way.
