Numeri 20:22 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 20:22

And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation,
journeyed from Kadesh
Not directly, but after they had continued there some time, and had furnished themselves with provisions for their journey, which they bought of the Edomites, see ( Judges 11:17 ) , "the whole congregation" is observed to Journey from hence, not one of them being lost by the king of Edom's coming out against them; these went out complete and perfect, safe and sound:

and came unto Mount Hor;
which, according to Bunting ^F6, was forty eight miles from Kadesh; this had not its name from the Horim or Horites, nor they from that, their name being written with a different letter, but from Harar, a mountain, for the word itself signifies a mountain; wherefore it may be rendered, "a mountain of the mountain", which Jarchi interprets a mountain on the top of a mountain.

FOOTNOTES:

F7 says, that here stood a city, formerly called Arce, since Petra, surrounded with an high mountain, where Aaron went and died; and Pliny says ^F8 of Petra, that it is encompassed with inaccessible mountains.

Numeri 20:22 In-Context

20 Er aber sprach: Du sollst nicht herdurchziehen. Und die Edomiter zogen aus, ihnen entgegen, mit mächtigem Volk und starker Hand.

21 Also weigerten sich die Edomiter, Israel zu vergönnen, durch ihr Gebiet zu ziehen. Und Israel wich von ihnen.

22 Und die Kinder Israel brachen auf von Kades und kamen mit der ganzen Gemeinde an den Berg Hor.

23 Und der HERR redete mit Mose und Aaron am Berge Hor, an den Grenzen des Landes der Edomiter, und sprach:

24 Laß sich Aaron sammeln zu seinem Volk; denn er soll nicht in das Land kommen, das ich den Kindern Israel gegeben habe, darum daß ihr meinem Munde ungehorsam gewesen seid bei dem Haderwasser.
