And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai, etc.] Each of their camps removed from thence, and so everyone took their journey; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran; which was a signal for the camps to rest and pitch their tents; this was after they had gone three days journey, and were come to Taberah, which, it is probable, was in the wilderness of Paran; otherwise we read of their pitching in the wilderness of Paran, after they had been a month at Kibrothhattaavah, (<041134>Numbers 11:34,35), and seven days at Hazeroth, (<041216>Numbers 12:16); so they went from one wilderness to another; of this wilderness, (see Gill on “<012121>Genesis 21:21”).
