Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root word קָדַשׁ (qadash), meaning "to be holy" or "to be set apart."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Kadesh in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of holiness associated with the root קָדַשׁ (qadash) can be related to Greek terms such as ἅγιος (hagios), meaning "holy" or "sacred."

Usage: Kadesh is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a significant location, often associated with the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites. It is mentioned in various contexts, primarily as a geographical landmark.

Context: Kadesh, often referred to as Kadesh-barnea, is a notable site in the biblical narrative, particularly during the Exodus and the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites. It is located in the southern part of Canaan, near the border of Edom. Kadesh served as a major encampment for the Israelites and is frequently mentioned in connection with significant events.

In Numbers 13:26, Kadesh is the place from which the twelve spies were sent to scout the land of Canaan: "They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole congregation of Israel at Kadesh in the Wilderness of Paran. There they reported to them and the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land."

Kadesh is also the site where Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, died and was buried, as recorded in Numbers 20:1: "In the first month, the whole congregation of Israel entered the Wilderness of Zin, and the people stayed at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried."

Furthermore, Kadesh is the location where Moses struck the rock to bring forth water, an act that led to his being barred from entering the Promised Land (Numbers 20:7-12).

The site is also mentioned in the context of territorial boundaries and disputes, as seen in Joshua 15:3 and Ezekiel 47:19. Kadesh-barnea served as a key reference point in defining the southern border of the land allotted to the tribe of Judah.
