This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Hazeroth, where they abode, as is said, Num_11:35, for Miriam’s sake.



In the wilderness of Paran, i.e. in another part of the same wilderness, as may be gathered from Num_10:12: see also Deu_33:2. It is possible they might have removed out of one part of that wilderness into another wilderness, and then returned again into another part of it, as we know the Israelites had many strange windings and turnings in their wilderness travels. And this part was more especially called Rithmah, Num_33:18, and Kadesh-barnea, Num_13:26 Deu_1:19, which were two noted places in that part, both which seem to be comprehended within their camp, or near adjoining to it.
