加低斯巴尼亚
描述
加低斯 — 圣地，或加低斯巴尼亚，流浪的圣地，位于巴勒斯坦东南边界的一个地方，距离何烈山约165英里。它位于“寻的旷野”或“寻的沙漠”中（创 14:7 ; 民 13:3 –26; 14:29–33; 20:1; 27:14），在以东的边界上（民 20:16 ）。在这个地方，顺应百姓的愿望，摩西派出“十二探子”去窥探那地。探子们在各个地区查看后，带回了一个不好的报告，只有约书亚和迦勒给出了关于那地的好报告（民 13:18 –31）。受这不利报告的影响，百姓放弃了进入应许之地的所有希望。他们在加低斯停留了相当长的一段时间。（参见 何珥玛；可拉。）由于他们的不信，他们被神判定要在旷野流浪三十八年。他们从加低斯出发，进入巴兰的沙漠，“走红海的路”（申 2:1 ）。（一种理论认为，在这三十八年中，他们一直留在加低斯及其周围。）
在这些流浪年的末期，十二支派第二次聚集在加低斯。在这次逗留期间，米利暗死了并被埋葬。这里的人们因为缺水而发怨言，就像他们的祖先以前在利非订那样；摩西因他们的责难而恼怒，“用杖击打磐石两次”，而不是像主吩咐他的那样“在他们眼前对磐石说话”（参见 民 27:14 ; 申 9:23 ; 诗 106:32 , 33）。因为他的这个行为，亚伦也牵涉其中，他们都不被允许踏入应许之地（民 20:12 , 24）。以东王不允许他们通过他的领土，因此他们开始向东行进，“来到何珥山”（民 20:22 ）。
这个地方被认为是‘Ain el-Kadeis，位于别是巴东南偏东约12英里处。（参见 探子。）

Kadesh (1)
holy, or Kadesh-Barnea, sacred desert of wandering, a place on the south-eastern border of Palestine, about 165 miles from Horeb. It lay in the "wilderness" or "desert of Zin" (Gen 14:7; Num 13:3-26; 14:29-33; 20:1; 27:14), on the border of Edom (Num 20:16). From this place, in compliance with the desire of the people, Moses sent forth "twelve spies" to spy the land. After examining it in all its districts, the spies brought back an evil report, Joshua and Caleb alone giving a good report of the land (Num 13:18-31). Influenced by the discouraging report, the people abandoned all hope of entering into the Promised Land. They remained a considerable time at Kadesh. (See HORMAH; KORAH) Because of their unbelief, they were condemned by God to wander for thirty-eight years in the wilderness. They took their journey from Kadesh into the deserts of Paran, "by way of the Red Sea" (Deut 2:1). (One theory is that during these thirty-eight years they remained in and about Kadesh).
At the end of these years of wanderings, the tribes were a second time gathered together at Kadesh. During their stay here at this time Miriam died and was buried. Here the people murmured for want of water, as their forefathers had done formerly at Rephidim; and Moses, irritated by their chidings, "with his rod smote the rock twice," instead of "speaking to the rock before their eyes," as the Lord had commanded him [comp. (Num 27:14; Deut 9:23; Ps 106:32; 106:33)]. Because of this act of his, in which Aaron too was involved, neither of them was to be permitted to set foot within the Promised Land (Num 20:12; 20:24). The king of Edom would not permit them to pass on through his territory, and therefore they commenced an eastward march, and "came unto Mount Hor" (Num 20:22).
This place has been identified with 'Ain el-Kadeis, about 12 miles east-south-east of Beersheba. (See SPIES)
