Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Kadesh-Barnea in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, transliterates the name as Καδης Βαρνη (Kades Barne).

Usage: Kadesh-Barnea is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. It serves as a key geographical and historical site in the Old Testament, particularly in the narratives of the Pentateuch.

Context: Kadesh-Barnea is a prominent location in the biblical account of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. It is situated in the southern part of Canaan, near the border of Edom. The site is first mentioned in Genesis 14:7, where it is referred to as En-mishpat, which is Kadesh. It gains prominence in the book of Numbers, where it serves as a major encampment for the Israelites during their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness.

In Numbers 13:26, Kadesh-Barnea is the place from which Moses sends twelve spies to scout the land of Canaan. The negative report of ten of these spies leads to the Israelites' prolonged stay in the wilderness. In Numbers 20:1, it is at Kadesh that Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, dies and is buried. The site is also associated with the sin of Moses striking the rock to bring forth water, as recounted in Numbers 20:7-13.

Kadesh-Barnea serves as a boundary marker in the territorial descriptions of the Promised Land (Numbers 34:4, Joshua 15:3). It is a place of both significant events and divine encounters, marking a pivotal point in the journey of the Israelites.
