WILDERNESS OF THE WANDERING - W>@ - (The region in which the Israelites spent nearly 38 years of their existence after they had left Egypt, and spent a year before Mount Sinai. They went as far as Kadesh, on the southernmost border of Palestine, from which place spies were sent up into the promised land. These returned with such a report of the inhabitants and their walled cities that the people were discouraged, and began to murmur and rebel. For their sin they were compelled to remain 38 years longer in the wilderness, because it showed that they were not yet prepared and trained to conquer and to hold their promised possessions. The wilderness of the wandering was the great central limestone plateau of the sinaitic peninsula. It was bordered on the east by the valley of the Arabah, which runs from the Dead Sea to the head of the eastern branch of the Red Sea. On the south and south west were the granite mountains of Sinai and on the north the Mediterranean Sea and the mountainous region south of Judea. It is called the Desert of Paran , and Badiet et
- Tih , which means "Desert of the Wandering." The children of Israel were not probably marching as a nation from place to place in this wilder new during these 38 years, but they probably had a kind of headquarters at Kadesh, and were "compelled to linger on as do the Bedouin Arabs of the present day, in a half-savage, homeless state, moving about from place to place, and pitching their tents wherever they could find pasture for their flocks and herds."
E.H. Palmer. Toward the close of the forty years from Egypt they again assembled at Kadesh, and, once more under the leadership of the Shechinah, they marched down the Arabah on their way to the promised land.

Wilderness @

(1.) Heb. midhbar, denoting not a barren desert but a district or region suitable for pasturing sheep and cattle kjv@Psalms:65:12; kjv@Isaiah:42:11; kjv@Jeremiah:23:10; kjv@Joel:1:19 kjv@Joel:2:22); an uncultivated place. This word is used of the wilderness of Beersheba kjv@Genesis:21:14), on the southern border of Palestine; the wilderness of the Red Sea kjv@Exodus:13:18); of Shur (15:22), a portion of the Sinaitic peninsula; of Sin (17:1), Sinai kjv@Leviticus:7:38), Moab kjv@Deuteronomy:2:8), Judah kjv@Judges:1:16), Ziph, Maon, En-gedi ( kjv@1Samuel:23:14 kjv@1Samuel:23:24 kjv@1Samuel:24:1), Jeruel and Tekoa ( kjv@2Chronicals:20:16 kjv@2Chronicals:20:20), Kadesh kjv@Psalms:29:8). "The wilderness of the sea" kjv@Isaiah:21:1). Principal Douglas, referring to this expression, says: "A mysterious name, which must be meant to describe Babylon (see especially ver. 9), perhaps because it became the place of discipline to God's people, as the wilderness of the Red Sea had been (comp. kjv@Ezekiel:20:35). Otherwise it is in contrast with the symbolic title in kjv@Isaiah:22:1. Jerusalem is the "valley of vision," rich in spiritual husbandry; whereas Babylon, the rival centre of influence, is spiritually barren and as restless as the sea (comp. 57:20)." A Short Analysis of the O.T.

(2.) Jeshimon, a desert waste kjv@Deuteronomy:32:10; kjv@Psalms:68:7).

(3.) 'Arabah, the name given to the valley from the Dead Sea to the eastern branch of the Red Sea. In kjv@Deuteronomy:1:1 kjv@Deuteronomy:2:8, it is rendered "plain" (R.V., "Arabah").

(4.) Tziyyah, a "dry place" kjv@Psalms:78:17 kjv@Psalms:105:41).

(5.) Tohu, a "desolate" place, a place "waste" or "unoccupied" kjv@Deuteronomy:32:10; kjv@Job:12:24; comp. kjv@Genesis:1:2, "without form"). The wilderness region in the Sinaitic peninsula through which for forty years the Hebrews wandered is generally styled "the wilderness of the wanderings." This entire region is in the form of a triangle, having its base toward the north and its apex toward the south. Its extent from north to south is about 250 miles, and at its widest point it is about 150 miles broad. Throughout this vast region of some 1,500 square miles there is not a single river. The northern part of this triangular peninsula is properly the "wilderness of the wanderings" (et
- Tih). The western portion of it is called the "wilderness of Shur" kjv@Exodus:15:22), and the eastern the "wilderness of Paran." The "wilderness of Judea" kjv@Matthew:3:1) is a wild, barren region, lying between the Dead Sea and the Hebron Mountains. It is the "Jeshimon" mentioned in kjv@1Samuel:23:19.
