| Easton's Bible Dictionary Fenced enclosures consisting of "a low wall of stones in which thick bundles of thorny acacia are inserted, the tangled branches and long needle-like spikes forming a perfectly impenetrable hedge around the encampment" of tents and cattle which they sheltered. Such like enclosures abound in the wilderness of Paran, which the Israelites entered after leaving Sinai (Numbers 11:35; 12:16; 33:17, 18).

Here Miriam (q.v.), being displeased that Moses had married a Cushite wife (Numbers 12:1), induced Aaron to join with her in rebelling against Moses. God vindicated the authority of his "servant Moses," and Miriam was smitten with leprosy. Moses interceded for her, and she was healed (Numbers 12:4-16). From this encampment the Israelites marched northward across the plateau of et-Tih, and at length reached KADESH. Int.
