Números 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.

Números 20:22 In-Context

20 El rey fue tajante en su respuesta:«¡Por aquí no pasarán!»Y salió contra ellos con un poderoso ejército,

21 resuelto a no dejarlos cruzar por su territorio. Así que los israelitas se vieron obligados a ir por otro camino.

22 Toda la comunidad israelita partió de Cades y llegó al monte Hor,

23 cerca de la frontera de Edom. Allí el SEÑOR les dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:

24 «Pronto Aarón partirá de este mundo, de modo que no entrará en la tierra que les he dado a los israelitas porque ustedes dos no obedecieron la orden que les di en la fuente de Meribá.
