In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin, and Secacah,
In the wilderness, х bamidbaar (H4057)] Midbar, when preceded by the article, is generally applied to designate the Arabian desert; but sometimes it is used to denote the barren regions on the confines of Palestine, as here in the valley of the Jordan, especially the western shore of the Dead Sea, and the rugged cliffs that stretch along it.
Beth-arabah, х Beeyt-haa-`Araabaah (H1026), house of the desert, with or without Beith (Joshua 18:18); Septuagint, Baddargeis; Alexandrian, Beetharaba] - a place situated on the north border-point of the territory assigned to Judah.
Middin, [Septuagint, Ainoon (G137); Alexandrian, Madoon] - not ascertained.
Secacah, х Cªkaakaah (H5527), enclosure. Septuagint, Aiochioza; Alexandrian, Sochocha] - perhaps Sekakeh, N. 13 degrees W. from Sinjil (Robinson's 'Biblical Researches,' 3:, p. 83).
