Kehelathah

Kehelathah (meaning assembly or a convocation) was one of the stations of the Israelites during their forty years of wilderness wandering, listed in Numbers 33:22–23 between Rissah and Mount Shepher. It was one of approximately forty named stopping points in the wilderness itinerary of Numbers 33, recording Israel's journey from Egypt to the plains of Moab.

The location of Kehelathah is entirely unknown and has not been identified by archaeology or geography. Many of the wilderness stations in Numbers 33 remain unlocatable, as the specific route Israel took through the Sinai peninsula cannot be reconstructed with certainty. Kehelathah's name, suggesting a gathering or assembly place, may indicate a location where the entire Israelite community converged after marching in smaller groups—perhaps a natural water source or broad valley that could accommodate the large company. It stands as one of the many incidental place-names that preserve the memory of Israel's desert sojourn without providing narrative content beyond the bare fact of encampment.
