The Fifth Book of Moses, called Deuteronomy.
1; Moses' speech in the end of the fortieth year;
6; briefly rehearsing the history of God's sending them from
Horeb;
14; of giving them officers;
19; of sending the spies to search the land;
34; of his anger for their incredulity;
41; and disobedience.

* Red sea. or, Zuph. Or rather, Suph.
This could not have been the Red Sea, not only because the
word {yam,} "sea," is not joined with it as usual, but because
they were now east of Jordan, and farther from the Red Sea
than ever. It seems to be the same which is called {Suphah}
in Nu 21:14; which must necessarily signify some place in or
adjoining to the plains of Moab, and not far from the Jordan
and Arnon. Ptolemy mentions a people called Sophonites that
dwelt in Arabia Petr(9161), who may have taken their name from
this place.
* Paran.
Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab, seem to have been
either places or cities not far from the plains of Moab; for
it is evident that Paran and Hazeroth could not have been
those near the Red sea, and not far from Horeb.
