the MountHor on which Aaron died (Numbers xx. 23), andwhich is stated to be situated * by the border ofEdom, thus showing its proximity to Kadesh,^ ofwhich the same is predicated in the 16th verse ofthe same chapter. To this subject we must return ona later page, as it is the hinge on which the wholequestion of the later stages of the Exodus route turns. ^ 1. The biblical indications as to the situation of Kadesh are these:— (1) It was eleven days ordinary caravan journey from Horeb whentravelling the Edom road (Deut. i. 2). A caravan travels from fifteen toeighteen miles per diem. The direct distance from Sinai to Am Kadis isone hundred and fifty miles. In the itineraries of Numbers seventeenmarches are given by name, showing that those taken by the host wereshorter than was usual. This is what we might anticipate. (2) Kadesh is described as a city on the edge of the boundary of Edom SINAI PENINSULA ANI D CANAAN ILLUSTRATING TME F-XODUS FROM SINAI ROOTE Op EXODUS »- M^DITEPIRANFAN

FIEST DEPAETUEE FEOM KADESH. 9 3. As has been stated, the first year of the wanderingswas spent in travelling to Sinai and in a prolonged stay-there. Sinai was left on the twentieth day of the secondmonth of the second year of the Exodus (Numbers x. 11).The actual days of travel to Kadesh were seventeen, butthere were delays, as at Hazeroth, where they * abode *and rested (Numbers xi. 35). It is thus impossible to fixthe time of the arrival at the wells of the Beni-Jaakan,but the stay there was sufficiently long to allow of theforty days absence of the twelve spies. On the morrow after their defeat by the Amorites atthe place afterwards called Hormah (Numbers xiv. 25,and Deut. i. 44), the congregation was bidden to leave (Numbers xx. 16 and xxxiv. 3). It was then occupied by the Hebrewhost, as an enclosed place, or Ir, and was otherwise unclaimed. Thecalling of it a city is an undesigned proof of its long-continued occupationby the Hebrew host.
