[World 2516] [Moses 83] [Redemption from Egypt. 3] THE place where the people murmured upon the return of the spies, was Kadesh Barnea, Numb. 13. 26. & 32. 8. Deut. 1. 19. This place was called Rithmah before, Numb. 33. 18. compared with Numb. 12. 16. & 13. 26. and it may be it was so called from the Juniper-trees that grew there: as 1 Kings 19. 4. but now named Kadesh, because the Lord was there sanctified upon the people, as Chap. 20. 13. and Bar∣nea, or the wandering son, because here was the decree made of their long wandering in the wilderness. Here at Kadesh they continued a good space before they removed; for so Moses saith, Ye abode in Kadesh many days: 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, according to the days that ye had made abode, namely at Sinai, as ver. 6. and so they spent one whole year there, for so they had done at Sinai: and whereas God bids them upon their murmuring to turn back to the Red-sea, Deut. 1. 40. his meaning was, that at their next march whensoever it was, they should not go forward towards Canaan, but clean back again towards the Red-sea from whence they came.

[Moses 84] [Redemption from Egypt. 4] And so they do, and so they wander by many stations and marches [Moses 85] [Redemption from Egypt. 5] from Kadesh Barnea now, till they come to Kadesh Barnea again, some seven [Moses 86] [Redemption from Egypt. 6] or eight and thirty years hence. Their marches mentioned in Numb. 33. [Moses 87] [Redemption from Egypt. 7] were these; from Kadesh or Rithmah to Rimmon Parez, to Libnah, to [Moses 88] [Redemption from Egypt. 8] Rissah, to Kehelathah, to Mount Shapher, to Haradah, to Makheloth, to [Moses 89] [Redemption from Egypt. 9] Tahath, to Tarah, to M••••hcah, to Hashmonah, to Moseroth, to Horhagid∣gad, [Moses 90] [Redemption from Egypt. 10] to Jotbathah, to Ebronah, to Ezion Gaber, to Kadesh again in the [Moses 91] [Redemption from Egypt. 11] fortieth year. And thus whereas it was but eleven days journey from Ho∣reb [Moses 92] [Redemption from Egypt. 12] by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea, Deut. 1. 2. they have now [Moses 93] [Redemption from Egypt. 13] made it above three times eleven years journy. The occurrences of all [Moses 94] [Redemption from Egypt. 14] this time were but few, and those undated either to time or place; some [Moses 95] [Redemption from Egypt. 15] Laws are given, Chap. 15. Korah, Dathan and Abiram rebel, Chap. 16. [Moses 96] [Redemption from Egypt. 16] Korah for the Priest-hood from Aaron, as being one of the Tribe of Le∣vi; [Moses 97] [Redemption from Egypt. 17] and Dathan and Abiram for the principality from Moses, as being of [Moses 98] [Redemption from Egypt. 18] Reuben the first-born. An earth-quake devoureth them, and all theirs, [Moses 99] [Redemption from Egypt. 19] and a fire devoured the 250 men that conspired with them; only Korahs [Moses 100] [Redemption from Egypt. 20] sons escape, Chap. 26. 11. and of them came Samuel, and divers famous [Moses 101] [Redemption from Egypt. 21] [Moses 102] [Redemption from Egypt. 22] singers in the Temple, 1 Chron. 6. 22. &c. Aarons Priest-hood that was [Moses 103] [Redemption from Egypt. 23] so opposed is confirmed by the budding of his withered rod, and upon [Moses 104] [Redemption from Egypt. 24] [Moses 105] [Redemption from Egypt. 25] this approval, divers services for the Priests are appointed, Chap. 17. & 18. [Moses 106] [Redemption from Egypt. 26] & 19. and so we have no more occurrences mentioned till the first day of [Moses 107] [Redemption from Egypt. 27] [Moses 108] [Redemption from Egypt. 28] their fortieth year. They went under four or five continual miracles; [Moses 109] [Redemption from Egypt. 29] as the appearing of the Cloud of glory, the raining of Manna, the fol∣lowing [Moses 110] [Redemption from Egypt. 30] [Moses 111] [Redemption from Egypt. 31] of the Rock or the waters of Horeb, the continual newness of [Moses 112] [Redemption from Egypt. 32] their cloaths, and the untiredness of their feet; yet did they forget, and [Moses 113] [Redemption from Egypt. 33] were continually repining against him that did all these wonders for them. [Moses 114] [Redemption from Egypt. 34] [Moses 115] [Redemption from Egypt. 35] They repined when they came out of Egypt, that they must come out of [Moses 116] [Redemption from Egypt. 36] Egypt, Exod. 14. 12. They repined when they came near Canaan, that [Moses 117] [Redemption from Egypt. 37] [Moses 118] [Redemption from Egypt. 38] they must go into Canaan, Numb. 14. and so they repined all the way be∣tween. [Moses 119] [Redemption from Egypt. 39] Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? Is not he thy Father that hath bought thee, &c. Deut. 32. 6.
