| Numbers 13:1
| And the people marched from Haseroth, *and pitched their tents in the desert of Pharan.
| Year of the World 2514. Pharan, at Rethma, chap. 33:48.; though Barradius confounds that station with that at Cades-barne. The Samaritan copy inserts here a long passage, taken probably from Deuteronomy 1:20, 21, and 22, which shews that the Hebrews first proposed the sending spies, out of timidity; which God severely punished in the sequel, though in his anger he here consents to their proposal, which seemed to originate in motives of prudence, ver. 3.
