Números 10:12

The cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran - This was three days' journey from the wilderness of Sinai, (see Numbers 10:33 ;), and the people had three stations; the first at Kibroth-hattaavah, the second at Hazeroth, Numbers 11:35 , and the third in the wilderness of Paran, see Numbers 12:16 . But it is extremely difficult to determine these journeyings with any degree of exactness; and we are often at a loss to know whether the place in question was in a direct or retrograde position from the place previously mentioned.
