SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:19
¶ Y partidos de Horeb, anduvimos todo este desierto grande y temeroso que habéis visto, por el camino del monte del amorreo, como el SEÑOR nuestro Dios nos lo mandó; y llegamos hasta Cades-barnea.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. And when we departed from Horeb , etc.] As the Lord commanded them to do, when they were obedient: we went through all the great and terrible wilderness ; the wilderness of Paran, called “great”, it reaching from Mount Sinai to Kadeshbarnea, eleven days’ journey, as Adrichomius relates; and “terrible”, being so hard and dry as not to be ploughed nor sown, and presented to the sight something terrible and horrible, even the very image of death; to which may be added the fiery serpents and scorpions it abounded with, ( Deuteronomy 8:15), which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites ; that is, in the way that led to the mountain: as the Lord our God commanded us ; to depart from Horeb, and take a tour through the wilderness towards the said mountain: and we came to Kadeshbarnea ; having stayed a month by the way at Kibrothhattaavah, where they lusted after flesh, and seven days at Hazeroth, where Miriam was shut out of the camp for leprosy during that time.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-46 - Moses reminds the Israelites of their march from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea, through that great and terrible wilderness. He shows ho near they were to a happy settlement in Canaan. It will aggravate the eternal ruin of hypocrites, that they were not far from the kingdom of God. As if it were not enough that they were sure of their God befor them, they would send men before them. Never any looked into the Holy Land, but they must own it to be a good land. And was there any caus to distrust this God? An unbelieving heart was at the bottom of all this. All disobedience to God's laws, and distrust of his power an goodness, flow from disbelief of his word, as all true obedienc springs from faith. It is profitable for us to divide our past live into distinct periods; to give thanks to God for the mercies we have received in each, to confess and seek the forgiveness of all the sin we can remember; and thus to renew our acceptance of God's salvation and our surrender of ourselves to his service. Our own plans seldo avail to good purpose; while courage in the exercise of faith, and in the path of duty, enables the believer to follow the Lord fully, to disregard all that opposes, to triumph over all opposition, and to tak firm hold upon the promised blessings __________________________________________________________________
