Deuteronomy 1:19

19 profecti autem de Horeb transivimus per heremum terribilem et maximam quam vidistis per viam montis Amorrei sicut praeceperat Dominus Deus noster nobis cumque venissemus in Cadesbarne

Deuteronomy 1:19 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:19

And when we departed from Horeb
As the Lord commanded them to do, when they were obedient:

we went through all the great and terrible wilderness;
the wilderness of Paran, called "great", it reaching from Mount Sinai to Kadeshbarnea, eleven days' journey, as Adrichomius ^F12 relates; and "terrible", being so hard and dry as not to be ploughed nor sown, and presented to the sight something terrible and horrible, even the very image of death; to which may be added the fiery serpents and scorpions it abounded with, ( Deuteronomy 8:15 ) ,

which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites;
that is, in the way that led to the mountain:

as the Lord our God commanded us;
to depart from Horeb, and take a tour through the wilderness towards the said mountain:

and we came to Kadeshbarnea;
having stayed a month by the way at Kibrothhattaavah, where they lusted after flesh, and seven days at Hazeroth, where Miriam was shut out of the camp for leprosy during that time.
