When the LORD saw that the days of mourning for Aaron were ended, the people set out from Mount Hor toward the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom — the wilderness journey resumes after mourning. The route now goes toward the Red Sea (Yam Suph), then north and east, circumnavigating Edom's territory. The Red Sea, site of Israel's earlier deliverance, is revisited; the geography circles back, suggesting cyclical return and redemptive repetition.
