Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Unto Hormah - literally, “the Hormah:” i. e. “the banning,” or “ban-place.” Compare Num 21:3; Jos 12:14. According to the view taken of Kadesh (see Num 13:26), Hormah is identified, through its earlier name, Zephath Jdg 1:17, with es-Safah on the southeastern frontier of Canaan, by which the Israelites quitted the Arabah for the higher ground, (or with Sebaita, which lies further to the west, about 25 miles north of Ain Gadis).
