Deuteronomy 1:1

on this: Numbers 32:5, Numbers 32:19, Numbers 32:32, Numbers 34:15, Numbers 35:14; Joshua 9:1, Joshua 9:10, Joshua 22:4, Joshua 22:7

Red Sea: or, Zuph, Or rather, Suph, This could not have been the Red Sea, not only because the word yam:, "sea," is not joined with it as usual, but because they were now east of Jordan, and farther from the Red Sea than ever. It seems to be the same which is called Suphah: in Numbers 21:14; which must necessarily signify some place in or adjoining to the plains of Moab, and not far from the Jordan and Arnon. Ptolemy mentions a people called Sophonites that dwelt in Arabia Petrea, who may have taken their name from this place.

Paran: Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab, seem to have been either places or cities not far from the plains of Moab; for it is evident that Paran and Hazeroth could not have been those near the Red sea, and not far from Horeb. Deuteronomy 33:2; Genesis 21:21; Numbers 10:12, Numbers 12:16, Numbers 13:3, Numbers 13:26; 1 Samuel 25:1; Habakkuk 3:3

Hazeroth: Numbers 11:35, Numbers 33:17-18
