They set out from Kadesh
Kadesh, often referred to as Kadesh-Barnea, is a significant location in the wilderness journey of the Israelites. It served as a major encampment site and a place of decision-making. Historically, Kadesh is where the Israelites faced a pivotal moment of rebellion when they refused to enter the Promised Land due to the report of the spies (Numbers 13-14). This act of disobedience led to their 40 years of wandering. Kadesh is also where Miriam, the sister of Moses, died and was buried (Numbers 20:1). Theologically, Kadesh represents a place of testing and decision, highlighting the importance of faith and obedience in the believer's journey.

and camped at Mount Hor
Mount Hor is notable as the place where Aaron, the brother of Moses and the first high priest of Israel, died and was buried (Numbers 20:22-29). This event marked a significant transition in the leadership of the priesthood from Aaron to his son Eleazar. Geographically, Mount Hor is located near the border of Edom, emphasizing the Israelites' proximity to the Promised Land. The death of Aaron at Mount Hor symbolizes the end of an era and the continuation of God's covenant promises through a new generation. It also serves as a reminder of the mortality of even the most revered leaders and the enduring nature of God's plan.

on the outskirts of the land of Edom
Edom, the land of the descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother, holds a complex relationship with Israel. The Edomites are often depicted as both kin and adversaries. In Numbers 20:14-21, Edom refused Israel passage through their land, forcing the Israelites to take a longer route. This refusal is a reflection of the longstanding tension between the two nations. Theologically, Edom represents the worldly opposition to God's people, yet it also serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty in guiding His people despite obstacles. The location on the outskirts of Edom signifies the Israelites' transition from wandering to approaching the fulfillment of God's promise to enter the land He had given them.
