SEV Biblia, Chapter 34:4
Y este término os irá rodeando desde el mediodía hasta la subida de Acrabim, y pasará hasta Zin; y sus salidas serán del mediodía a Cades-barnea; y saldrá a Hasar-adar, y pasará hasta Asmón;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. And your border , etc.] That is, the south border, which is still describing: shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim ; or Maalehacrabbim, as in ( Joshua 15:3) so called from the multitude of serpents and scorpions in it, (see Deuteronomy 8:15), so Kimchi says f486 , a place of serpents and scorpions was this ascent: Dr. Shaw says Akrabbim may probably be the same with the mountains of Accaba, according to the present name, which hang over Eloth, where there is a “high steep road”, well known to the Mahometan pilgrims for its ruggedness: and he thinks it very probable, that Mount Hor was the same chain of mountains that are now called Accaba by the Arabs, and were the easternmost range, as we may take them to be, of Ptolemy’s black mountains: Josephus f489 speaks of Acrabatene as belonging to the Edomites, which seems to be this same place: and pass on to Zin ; that is, which ascent goes on to it; the Targum of Jonathan is, “and shall pass on to the palm trees of the mountain of iron;” by which is meant the same with the wilderness of Zin: perhaps Zinnah is rather the name of a city; the Septuagint call it Ennac: the Vulgate Latin, Senna: Jerom makes mention of a place called Senna, seven miles from Jericho: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea ; from whence the spies were sent southward to search the land, ( Numbers 13:17 32:8) and shall go on to Hazaraddar ; called Adar, ( Joshua 15:3) and where it seems to be divided into two places, Hezron and Adar, which very probably were near each other, and therefore here put together, as if but one place: and pass on to Azmon ; which the Targums call Kesam.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-15 - Canaan was of small extent; as it is here bounded, it is but about 16 miles in length, and about 50 in breadth; yet this was the countr promised to the father of the faithful, and the possession of the see of Israel. This was that little spot of ground, in which alone, for many ages, God was known. This was the vineyard of the Lord, the garde enclosed; but as it is with gardens and vineyards, the narrowness of the space was made up by the fruitfulness of the soil. Though the eart is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof, yet few know him, and serv him; but those few are happy, because fruitful to God. Also, see ho little a share of the world God gives to his own people. Those who have their portion in heaven, have reason to be content with a smal pittance of this earth. Yet a little that a righteous man has, havin it from the love of God, and with his blessing, is far better and mor comfortable than the riches of many wicked. (Nu 34:16-29)
