Numbers 20:22 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

The children of Israel—came unto mount Hor— A mountain, or chain of mountains, on the east border of the land of Edom, ch. Numbers 33:37 which, probably, had its name from Hori, the first possessor of it, Genesis 36:30 and is called, Deuteronomy 10:6. Mosera. Dr. Shaw thinks it is very probable, that mount Hor was the chain of mountains which are now called Accaba by the Arabs, and were the easternmost range, as we may take them to be, of Ptolemy's Black Mountains. Here, from the badness of the road, and the very rugged passes that are to be surmounted, the Mahometan pilgrims lose a number of camels, and are no less fatigued than the Israelites were formerly in getting over them.
