And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
The march noted here moved out from Ezion-gaber and encamped in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. That stage belongs to the recorded journey from Egypt, and more particularly to the stretch from Hazeroth toward the border of Canaan, a route that can be followed on a map. It is one of eighteen recorded encampments between Hazeroth and Kadesh-barnea, where the spies were sent out.
No notable event is recorded at these stops, and most are known only by their names. At Kadesh on the borders of Canaan Israel afterward stood ready to enter the land, but unbelief kept the people from entering. In the setting of Numbers 31 to 33, this stage joins in teaching that no secret sin can be hidden from God.
