Deuteronomy 1:40
But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
BSB
ASV
But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
KJV
But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
But as for you, turn ye,.... From the mountain of the Amorites, the border of the land of Canaan: and take your journey into the wilderness, by the way of the Red sea: see Num 14:25. Jarchi says this wilderness was by the side of the Red sea, to the south of Mount Seir, and divided between the Red sea and the mount; so that now they drew to the side of the sea, and compassed Mount Seir, all the south of it, from west to east.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
