30<\/strong>. obab’s words shew that the route from Sinai to his home in Midian (which was on the east of the Golf of Akaba) was in a different direction from the route to Canaan. This is one of the many indications that Sinai did not lie in the position traditionally assigned to it, and found in modern maps, at the south of the peninsula; otherwise the route of the Israelites would have coincided with that of obab for a large part of the distance. The site of Sinai seems to have been further north, in the region of adesh. See the writer’s Exodus<\/em>, pp. xcviii cvi1 [Note: Driver (Exodus in this series, pp. 177 191) inclines to the traditional site.] .<\/p>\n Verse 30<\/span>. I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land,<\/B><\/I> <\/B>and to my kindred.<\/B><\/I>] From the strong expostulations in verses 31<\/I><\/span> and 32<\/I><\/span>, and from Jdg 1:16<\/span>; Jdg 4:11<\/span>, and 1Sa 15:6<\/span>, it is likely that Hobab changed his mind; or that, if he did go back to Midian, he returned again to Israel, as the above scriptures show that his posterity<\/I> dwelt among the Israelites in Canaan. Reader, after having been almost persuaded to become a Christian, to take Christ, his cross, his reproach, and his crown, for thy portion, art thou again purposing to go back to thy own land, and to thy kindred? Knowest thou not that this land is the place of destruction-that the children of this world, who are not taking God for their portion, are going to perdition? Up, get thee hence, for the Lord will destroy this place by fire; and all who are not of the kindred and family of Christ shall perish at the brightness of his appearing!<\/P> <\/p>\n So he might truly and sincerely say, though after this speech he was overcome by the entreaties and persuasions of Moses. Or he did go and settle his affairs, and afterwards return; for we find his posterity settled among the Israelites. See Jdg 1:16<\/span>; 4:11<\/span>,18<\/span>, &c. <\/P> <\/p>\n And he said unto him, I will not go<\/strong>,…. Which was a very peremptory answer, he seemed determined, and at a point about it for the present, though it is, probable he afterwards changed his mind, like the young man in the parable, Mt 21:29<\/span>;<\/p>\n but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred<\/strong>; which were prevailing motives with him, his native country, his relations, and father’s house; to this resolution he came, both because of his substance, and because of his family, as Jarchi.<\/p>\n (30) And he said unto him, I will not go . . . <\/strong>It is not expressly stated in the narrative whether Hobab did or did not ultimately accompany the Israelites on their march. It appears most probable, however, that the renewed solicitation of Moses proved effectual. In any case, it is certain from Jdg. 1:16<\/span> that the Kenites, as a body, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, and that they went and dwelt among the people. (See Jdg. 1:16<\/span>; Jdg. 4:11<\/span>; 1Sa. 15:6<\/span>; 2Ki. 10:15<\/span>; compared with 1Ch. 2:55<\/span>.)<\/p>\n Behold! the universal voice of nature! See how earthly affections cleave to the earth.
