An important locality in Biblical history. "It looms up as the
objective point of the Israelites in their movement from Sinai
to the Promised Land. It is the place of their testing, of
their failure, of their judging, and of their dispersion. It
is their rallying centre for the forty-years of their
wandering, and the place of their re-assembling for their
final move into the land of their longings."
_H. C. Trumbull,
Kadesh-Barnea,
part 1._
Mr. Trumbull identifies the site with the oasis of Ayn Qadees,
in the Wilderness of Zin.
