And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
Numbers 33 and 34 record the many successive journeys of Israel, along with directions for the boundaries of Israel. After abiding at Kadesh, Israel removed from Kadesh and pitched at Mount Hor in the edge of the land of Edom.
Kadesh was where Miriam died and was buried, and where the hopes of the people were buried with her. It was where Israel stood on the very borders of Canaan with nothing but unbelief keeping them from entering in. It was where murmuring for water provoked Moses until he spoke rashly with his mouth and took glory to himself instead of giving glory to God. In that same setting the Edomites heartlessly refused Israel passage through their land. Mount Hor, reached on leaving Kadesh, was where Aaron died.
