³⁶ They set out from Ezion-geber and camped in the wilderness of Zin (that is, Kadesh).^(A)

The Waters of Meribah

20 The Israelites, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh. Miriam died there and was buried there.^(A)

¹⁴ because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin when the congregation quarreled with me.^[a] You did not show my holiness before their eyes at the waters.” (These are the waters of Meribath-kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)^(A)

⁵¹ because both of you broke faith with me among the Israelites at the waters of Meribath-kadesh in the wilderness of Zin, by failing to maintain my holiness among the Israelites.^(A)

²¹ So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo-hamath.
