Numbers 13:3
<< Numbers 13:3 >>
So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran at the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the sons of Israel. (NASB ©1995)

Numbers 13:2 "Send out for yourself men so that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I am going to give to the sons of Israel; you shall send a man from each of their fathers' tribes, every one a leader among them."

Numbers 13:4 These then were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur; (NASB ©1995)



And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.

The wilderness of Paran, says Dr. Wells, seems to have been taken in a larger, and in a stricter sense. In the larger sense, it seems to have denoted all the desert and mountainous tract, lying between the wilderness of Shur westward, and mount Seir, or the land of Edom, eastward, the land of Canaan northward, and the Red sea southward. And in this sense, it seems to have comprehended the wilderness of Sin, and the wilderness of Sinai, also the adjoining tract wherein lay Kibroth-hattaavah and Hazeroth. In this sense it may be understood in De. 1:19, where, by 'that great and terrible wilderness,' is intended the wilderness of Paran in its largest acceptation; for, in its stricter acceptation, it seems not to have been so great and terrible a wilderness' but is taken to denote more peculiarly that part of Arabia Petraea which lies between mount Sinai and Hazeroth west, and mount Seir east.
