במדבר, פרק ל״ג, פסוק ל״ב

As the Israelites traveled through the wilderness, the places where they set up camp often took their names from the physical traits of the landscape. At this stage of the journey, the area was likely defined by its rugged geography. The title given to the encampment suggests that the region was filled with rocky crevices [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. The distinct identity of this location is preserved in the written record, maintaining its exact form when detailing the nation's eventual departure [רבנו בחיי].
