⁴⁶ So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.

¹ In the first month all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Zin, and put up their tents in Kadesh; there death came to Miriam, and they put her body to rest in the earth.

²² And they went on from Kadesh, and came, with all their people, to Mount Hor.

²⁵ Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites are in the valley; tomorrow, turning round, go into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea.

³⁴ And as you went through the land viewing it for forty days, so for forty years, a year for every day, you will undergo punishment for your wrongdoing, and you will see that I am against you.

¹⁶ But when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the waste land to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh;

¹⁷ Then Israel sent men to the king of Edom saying, Let me now go through your land; but the king of Edom did not give ear to them. And in the same way he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not; so Israel went on living in Kadesh.
