Numbers 12:16 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Hazeroth, where they abode, as is said, Numbers 11:35, for Miriam's sake. In the wilderness of Paran, i.e. in another part of the same wilderness, as may be gathered from Numbers 10:12: see also Deuteronomy 33:2. It is possible they might have removed out of one part of that wilderness into another wilderness, and then returned again into another part of it, as we know the Israelites had many strange windings and turnings in their wilderness travels. And this part was more especially called Rithmah, Numbers 33:18, and Kadesh-barnea, Numbers 13:26 Deuteronomy 1:19, which were two noted places in that part, both which seem to be comprehended within their camp, or near adjoining to it.
