The name "Shur" is often associated with a wall or enclosure, which is fitting given its geographical characteristics as a boundary area.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Shur is frequently mentioned in the context of the wilderness or desert areas that lie to the east of Egypt and to the south of Canaan. It serves as a significant geographical marker in several biblical narratives.<br><br>1. <b>Hagar's Flight:</b> <br> The first mention of Shur is in the account of Hagar, the Egyptian maidservant of Sarah, who fled from her mistress. The Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness on the way to Shur. This encounter is recorded in <a href="/genesis/16-7.htm">Genesis 16:7</a>: "Now the Angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water in the desert&#8212;the spring along the road to Shur."<br><br>2. <b>Abraham's Sojourn:</b> <br> After the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham journeyed toward the Negev and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. <a href="/genesis/20.htm">Genesis 20:1</a> states, "Now Abraham journeyed from there to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he was staying in Gerar."<br><br>3. <b>The Exodus Route:</b> <br> The Israelites, after crossing the Red Sea, entered the Wilderness of Shur. This is documented in <a href="/exodus/15-22.htm">Exodus 15:22</a>: "Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert without finding water."<br><br>4. <b>Saul's Campaign:</b> <br> King Saul's military campaigns extended to the region of Shur. In <a href="/1_samuel/15-7.htm">1 Samuel 15:7</a>, it is recorded: "Then Saul struck down the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt."<br><br><b>Geographical Significance:</b> <br>Shur is generally identified with the northwestern part of the Sinai Peninsula, serving as a natural boundary between Egypt and the lands to the northeast. Its desert terrain made it a challenging area for travel and habitation, often symbolizing desolation and testing.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>The wilderness of Shur represents a place of trial and divine encounter. For Hagar, it was a place of distress but also of divine revelation and promise. For the Israelites, it was a place of testing and reliance on God's provision. The region's harsh conditions underscore themes of faith, obedience, and God's guidance through difficult circumstances.<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b> <br>In the ancient Near East, Shur was strategically significant due to its location along trade routes and as a buffer zone between powerful nations like Egypt and the emerging Israelite nation. Its mention in various biblical narratives highlights its role as a backdrop for God's interactions with His people.<br><br><b>Cultural Context:</b> <br>The desert of Shur, like other wilderness areas in the Bible, is often depicted as a place of solitude and reflection, where individuals encounter God away from the distractions of settled life. It serves as a metaphor for spiritual journeys and the challenges faced by believers in their walk with God.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shur</span><p>wall; ox; that beholds<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shur</span><p>(<i>a wall</i>), a place just without the eastern border of Egypt.

The name was probably given to it from the wall (or shur) which the Egyptians built to defend their frontier on the north-east from the desert tribes. This wall or line of fortifications extended from Pelusium to Heliopolis. <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">SHUR</span><p>shur, shoor (shur; Sour): The name of a desert East of the Gulf of Suez. The word means a "wall," and may probably refer to the mountain wall of the Tih plateau as visible from the shore plains. In <a href="/genesis/16-7.htm">Genesis 16:7</a> Hagar at Kadesh (`Ain Qadis) (see 16:14) is said to have been "in the way to Shur." Abraham also lived "between Kadesh and Shur" (<a href="/genesis/20-1.htm">Genesis 20:1</a>). The position of Shur is defined (<a href="/genesis/25-18.htm">Genesis 25:18</a>) as being "opposite Egypt on the way to Assyria." After crossing the Red Sea (<a href="/exodus/15-4.htm">Exodus 15:4</a>) the Hebrews entered the desert of Shur (<a href="/exodus/15-22.htm">Exodus 15:22</a>), which extended southward a distance of three days' journey. It is again noticed (<a href="/1_samuel/15-7.htm">1 Samuel 15:7</a>) as being opposite Egypt, and (<a href="/1_samuel/27-8.htm">1 Samuel 27:8</a>) as near Egypt. There is thus no doubt of its situation, on the East of the Red Sea, and of the Bitter Lakes.<br><br>Brugsch, however, proposed to regard Shur ("the wall") as equivalent to the Egyptian anbu ("wall"), the name of a fortification of some kind apparently near Kantarah (see MIGDOL (2)), probably barring the entrance to Egypt on the road from Pelusium to Zoan. The extent of this "wall" is unknown, but Brugsch connects it with the wall mentioned by Diodorus Siculus (i.4) who wrote about 8 B.C., and who attributed it to Sesostris (probably Rameses II) who defended "the east side of Egypt against the irruptions of the Syrians and Arabians, by a wall drawn from Pelusium through the deserts as far as to Heliopolis, for a space of 1,500 furlongs." Heliopolis lies 90 miles (not 188) Southwest of Pelusium: this wall, if it existed at all, would have run on the edge of the desert which extends North of Wady Tumeilat from Kantarah to Tell el-Kebir; but this line, on the borders of Goshen, is evidently much too far West to have any connection with the desert of Shur East of the Gulf of Suez.
