The ascent of ‘Arabbim may be sought in one of the passes on the N. side of the Wady el-Fireh, and perhaps in particular in the Nab el-Yemen, which starts just opposite the Jebel Madurah, or in the Nab e-af’ (Gray).<\/p>\n Akrabbim, <\/B>called Maaleh-acrabbim<\/I>, Jos 15:3<\/span>, which was at the south end of the Salt or Dead Sea. <\/P> From the south, <\/B>or, on the south<\/I>, i.e. proceeding onward towards the south. <\/P> Kadesh-barnea<\/B> was on the southern part of Canaan, Num 13:17<\/span>. <\/P> Hazar-addar, <\/B>in Jos 15:3<\/span>, may seem distinguished into two places, Hezron and Adar, which here are united, because peradventure they were contiguous, or joined together. Or, the village of Addar<\/I>; and so this is the same place called Adar<\/I>, Jos 15:3<\/span>; and for Hezron, that may be another place here omitted, and there supplied for more exactness. Azmon is at the west end of the Mount of Edom. <\/P> <\/p>\n And your border<\/strong>,…. That is, the south border, which is still describing:<\/p>\n shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim<\/strong>; or Maalehacrabbim, as in Jos 15:3<\/span> so called from the multitude of serpents and scorpions in it, see De 8:15<\/span>, so Kimchi says k, a place of serpents and scorpions was this ascent: Dr. Shaw l says Akrabbim may probably be the same with the mountains of Accaba, according to the present name, which hang over Eloth, where there is a “high steep road”, well known to the Mahometan pilgrims for its ruggedness: and he thinks m it very probable, that Mount Hor was the same chain of mountains that are now called Accaba by the Arabs, and were the easternmost range, as we may take them to be, of Ptolemy’s black mountains: Josephus n speaks of Acrabatene as belonging to the Edomites, which seems to be this same place:<\/p>\n and pass on to Zin<\/strong>; that is, which ascent goes on to it; the Targum of Jonathan is,<\/p>\n “and shall pass on to the palm trees of the mountain of iron;”<\/p>\n by which is meant the same with the wilderness of Zin: perhaps Zinnah is rather the name of a city; the Septuagint call it Ennac: the Vulgate Latin, Senna: Jerom o makes mention of a place called Senna, seven miles from Jericho:<\/p>\n and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea<\/strong>; from whence the spies were sent southward to search the land,<\/p>\n Nu 13:17<\/span><\/p>\n and shall go on to Hazaraddar<\/strong>; called Adar, Jos 15:3<\/span> and where it seems to be divided into two places, Hezron and Adar, which very probably were near each other, and therefore here put together, as if but one place:<\/p>\n and pass on to Azmon<\/strong>; which the Targums call Kesam.<\/p>\n k Sepher Shorash. “in voce” . l Travels, tom. 2. ch. 1. p. 279. m Travels, tom. 2. ch. 1. p. 323. n Antiqu. l. 12. c. 8. sect. 1. see 1 Maccab. 5. 3. o De loc.

What is here called the height of Akrabbim is supposed to be a row of white cliffs, which run obliquely across the Arabah, at a distance of about eight miles from the Dead Sea. (Comp. Jos. 15:3-4<\/span>.)<\/p>\n Num 34:4-5<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>To the ascent of Akrabbim<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> Or to Maaleh-akrabbim, <\/em>as it is rendered, Jos 15:3<\/span> which signifies, according to Bochart, the mount of scorpions; <\/em>so called from the multitude of those creatures found there. See Deu 8:15<\/span> and Hieroz. lib. 4: cap. 29. Hence that tract adjoining to Idumea is called Arabatine, <\/em>1Ma 5:3<\/span>. Hazar-addar is, in the Vulgate, the village of Addar; <\/em>which seems justified by Jos 15:3<\/span> where it is simply called Addar. The river of Egypt <\/em>means, as we have explained it, Num 34:3<\/span> the Nile; <\/em>as the sea <\/em>means the Mediterranean sea, <\/em>called Num 34:6-7<\/span> the great sea. <\/em>It is certain, that the Jews never did extend their territories so far as the Nile; the present is to be considered only as a permission to do so. The words in Num 34:4<\/span> and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, <\/em>Dr. Waterland renders, and its utmost limits on the south shall be Kadesh-barnea.<\/em> <\/p>\n Akrabbim = Maaleh-akrabbim. Jos 15:3. = the ascent of scorpions. Compare Deu 8:15. <\/p>\n going forth = ascending.

Not that the Jews did really extend their territories so far as the Nile; but thus far they were allowed to extend them. The goings out of it shall be at the sea The Midland or Mediterranean sea, called the sea, emphatically, and (Num 34:6,) the great sea, in opposition to the sea of Galilee, and the Dead sea, which are indeed but lakes. This midland sea was to be their western border.<\/p>\n And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon: 4. the ascent of Akrabbim ] i.e. the ‘Scorpion Pass.’ ‘From the Dead Sea … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 34:4”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4829\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
