Etham

Etham was the second wilderness station Israel reached after the Exodus, on the edge of the wilderness as they headed away from Succoth (Exodus 13:20, Numbers 33:6-8). From Etham, God redirected them to camp by the sea at Pi-hahiroth before the Red Sea crossing. After the crossing, they traveled into the "wilderness of Etham" for three days before reaching Marah (Numbers 33:8). The exact location is unknown but was likely on the eastern frontier of Egypt, perhaps near the modern Suez region.
