Alush was one of the wilderness stopping places before Rephidim and Sinai. It is important because it helps preserve the step-by-step route of the Exodus journey. First appears in Num 33:13.1
AI summary: Alush matters because the itinerary itself is a theological memory of dependence and leading. Though no major episode is attached to the name, its place just before Rephidim gives it a location within the intensifying approach to Sinai. The cross references present Alush as a transitional wilderness halt in the march toward covenant.1
One of the places, the last before Rephidim, at which the Hebrews rested on their way to Sinai (Num. 33:13, 14). It was probably situated on the shore of the Red Sea. 3
