16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.

afterward Nu 11:35 33:18

Hazeroth. The exact situation of this place is unknown. Dr. Shaw computes it to be three days' journey, i.e. thirty miles from Sinai. From this passage, it appears that the wilderness of Paran commenced immediately upon their leaving this station. Calmet observes, that there is a town called Hazor in Arabia Petraea, in all probability the same as Hazerim, the ancient habitation of the Hivites; and likewise, according to all appearances, the Hazeroth, where the Hebrews encamped. the wilderness Nu 10:12 13:3,26 Ge 21:21 1Sa 25:1 Hab 3:3
