Reply To: The distance from Kadesh Barnea

[Thomas Donlon]

Is Kadesh on the edge of Edomite territory?

14 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: "This is what your brother Israel says: You know about all the hardships that have come on us.
 15 Our ancestors went down into Egypt, and we lived there many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our ancestors,
 16 but when we cried out to the LORD, he heard our cry and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt. "Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory.
 17 Please let us pass through your country. (Num. 20:14-17 NIV)
