- Genesis 14:7
Then they turned back to invade En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
Commentary on Genesis 14:72 voices
(Verse 7) And they returned and came to the well of judgment, which is Kadesh. It is said by anticipation that it was afterwards so called. But it signifies the place at Petra, which is called the well of judgment because there God judged the people. And they struck all the region of the Amalekites and the Amorites who dwelt in Hazazon-tamar. This town is what is now called Engedi, fertile with balsam and palm trees. Moreover, Hazazon-tamar, in our language, means the city of palm trees. Thamar, indeed, is said to mean 'palm'.

Commentary on Genesis 20:11 voice
We have read from the book of Genesis the story where it is related that after the appearance of the three men, after the destruction of Sodom and the salvation of Lot, either due to his hospitality or because of his kinship to Abraham, "Abraham departed thence," the text says, "to the south" and came to the king of the Philistines. It is related also that he made an agreement with Sarah his wife that she should not say that she was Abraham's wife but his sister.

- Numbers 13:26
and they went back to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back a report for the whole congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.
Commentary on Numbers 13:262 voices
Kadesh is usually identified with Ain-el-Weibeh, which lies in the Arabah, about 10 miles north of the place in which Mount Hor abuts on that valley, (or with Ain-Gadis in Jebel Magrah).

- Numbers 20:1
In the first month, the whole congregation of Israel entered the Wilderness of Zin and stayed in Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
Commentary on Numbers 20:12 voices
Next comes "And the Lord shall shake the desert of Kadesh." This still refers to the spirit of piety. The account in Numbers carefully explains this reference when it tells how the people of Israel came to Kadesh and were suffering from excessive thirst because …

- Numbers 33:36
They set out from Ezion-geber and camped at Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.
Commentary on Numbers 33:362 voices
Zin, which is Kadesh - A place remarkable for the death of Miriam the prophetess, and bringing water out of the rock. As this place was on the borders of Edom, the Israelites, being denied permission to pass through their land, which lay on the direct road to the promised land, were obliged to turn to the right to Mount Hor, now called Accaba by the Arabs. Stat. 33.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
From there they come again to Sin [Zin]. And again Sin is "temptation." For we said that there is no other way of furthering our embarking upon this journey.

- Joshua 10:41
Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
Commentary on Joshua 10:412 voices
And Joshua smote them, from Kadeshbarnea,.... Which lay to the south of the land of Canaan, Num 13:17, even unto Gaza, which lay to the southwest, and was one of the five principalities of the Philistines; of which city See Gill on Amo 1:7; and See Gill on Act 8:26, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon; to which he returned back in his way to his camp at Gilgal, having conquered all the southern part of the country. This country of Goshen is not that in the land of Egypt, as Kimchi rightly remarks.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
From Kadesh-barnea unto Gaza - Num 13:26 This limits Joshuas conquests on the west, as the other line, all the country of Goshen unto Gibeon, does on the east. Goshen Jos 15:51 has not been identified. It was in the southern part of the territory of Judah, and is, of course, quite distinct from the Goshen of Gen 46:28.

- Joshua 15:3
proceeded south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continued on to Zin, went over to the south of Kadesh-barnea, ran past Hezron up to Addar, and curved toward Karka.
Commentary on Joshua 15:32 voices
But also we must go up the ascent of the hills of Akrabbim, which means "scorpions." Thus it is necessary for us to pass over and even tread down scorpions, about which the Savior says, "Behold, I have given you the authority to tread over serpents and scorpions." Whoever therefore wishes and longs to enter into the inheritance of the tribe of Judah must go up these ascents and tread down and escape from scorpions that stand in the way.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON JOSHUA 19.3, 253Patristic
And it went out to the south side of Maalehacrabbim,....
