This movement is part of the larger narrative of the Israelites' 40-year journey through the wilderness, which serves as a period of testing and preparation.<p><b>and camped in the Wilderness of Paran</b><br>The Wilderness of Paran is a significant location in the biblical narrative. It is a large desert area in the Sinai Peninsula, often associated with the region where the Israelites spent a considerable amount of time during their wanderings. Paran is mentioned in <a href="/genesis/21-21.htm">Genesis 21:21</a> as the place where Ishmael settled. It is also the location from which the spies were sent to explore Canaan (<a href="/numbers/13-3.htm">Numbers 13:3</a>). The wilderness represents both physical and spiritual challenges, as well as opportunities for growth and reliance on God. The movement to Paran is a step closer to the fulfillment of God's promise to bring the Israelites into the land of Canaan.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are on their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land.

It appears from the 26th verse of the following chapter that the encampment was at Kadesh, which has been supposed by some to be identical with Rithniah (<a href="/numbers/33-18.htm" title="And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.">Numbers 33:18</a>).<p><span class= "bld"><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/12.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 16.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">In the wilderness of Paran.</span> It is somewhat strange that this note of place should be used a second time without explanation (see chapter Numbers 10:12, 33). Probably it is intended to mark the fact that they were still within the limits of Paran, although on the very verge of their promised laud. In the list of stations given in chapter Numbers 33, it is said (verse 18), "They departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah." This is with some probability identified with the Wady Redemat, which opens front the mountain mass of the Azazimat into the singular plain of Kudes, or Kadesh, the scene of the decisive events which followed. <p> <p> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/12-16.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">After that,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְאַחַ֛ר</span> <span class="translit">(wə·’a·ḥar)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_310.htm">Strong's 310: </a> </span><span class="str2">The hind or following part</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the people</span><br /><span class="heb">הָעָ֖ם</span> <span class="translit">(hā·‘ām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> </span><span class="str2">A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock</span><br /><br /><span class="word">set out</span><br /><span class="heb">נָסְע֥וּ</span> <span class="translit">(nā·sə·‘ū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5265.htm">Strong's 5265: </a> </span><span class="str2">To pull up, the tent-pins, start on a, journey</span><br /><br /><span class="word">from Hazeroth</span><br /><span class="heb">מֵחֲצֵר֑וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(mê·ḥă·ṣê·rō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-m | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2698.htm">Strong's 2698: </a> </span><span class="str2">Hazeroth -- a place in the wilderness</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and camped</span><br /><span class="heb">וַֽיַּחֲנ֖וּ</span> <span class="translit">(way·ya·ḥă·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2583.htm">Strong's 2583: </a> </span><span class="str2">To incline, to decline, to pitch a, tent, gen, to encamp</span><br /><br /><span class="word">in the Wilderness</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּמִדְבַּ֥ר</span> <span class="translit">(bə·miḏ·bar)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4057.htm">Strong's 4057: </a> </span><span class="str2">A pasture, a desert, speech</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Paran.</span><br /><span class="heb">פָּארָֽן׃</span> <span class="translit">(pā·rān)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6290.htm">Strong's 6290: </a> </span><span class="str2">Paran -- a place in Sinai</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/numbers/12-16.htm">Numbers 12:16 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/numbers/12-16.htm">Numbers 12:16 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/numbers/12-16.htm">Numbers 12:16 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/numbers/12-16.htm">Numbers 12:16 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/numbers/12-16.htm">Numbers 12:16 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/numbers/12-16.htm">Numbers 12:16 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/numbers/12-16.htm">Numbers 12:16 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/numbers/12-16.htm">Numbers 12:16 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/numbers/12-16.htm">Numbers 12:16 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/numbers/12-16.htm">Numbers 12:16 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/numbers/12-16.htm">OT Law: Numbers 12:16 Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth (Nu Num.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/numbers/12-15.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Numbers 12:15"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Numbers 12:15" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/numbers/13-1.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Numbers 13:1"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Numbers 13:1" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
