Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 20:1

1 THen came the children of Israel even the whole congregation into the desert of Zin , in the first moneth , and the people abode in Kadesh ; and Miriam died there , and was buryed there.

To wit, after many other stations and long journeys here omitted, but particularly described, Numb. 33.

A place near the land of Edom, distinct and distant from that Sin, Exod. 15. 1.

To wit, of the fortieth year, as is evident, because the next station to this was in mount Hor, where Aaron died, ver. 22, 23, &c. who died in the fifth moneth of the fortieth year, Numb. 33. 38. Moses doth not give us an exact journal of all their occurrences in the wilderness, but onely of those which were most remarkable, and especially of those which happened in the first and second, and in the fortieth, year.

Whether the same place called Kadeh-barnea, where they were long [illegible: 1 word] Numb. 13. 26. and to which they now return after 38 years tedious travels and wandrings in the desert, Deut. 2. 14. or another place, more southerly, it is not material.

Four moneths before Aaron and but a few more before Moses.
