Contextual Overview

⁸ So we passed by our relatives, the descendants of Esau who lived in Edom. We turned off the Jordan Valley road that comes from the towns of Elath and Ezion Geber and traveled along the desert road to Moab. ⁹ Then the Lord said to me, "Don't bother the people of Moab. Don't go to war against them, because I will not give you any of their land as your own; I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as their own." ¹⁰ (The Emites, who lived in Ar before, were strong people, and there were many of them. They were very tall, like the Anakites. ¹¹ The Emites were thought to be Rephaites, like the Anakites, but the Moabite people called them Emites. ¹² The Horites also lived in Edom before, but the descendants of Esau forced them out and destroyed them, taking their place as Israel did in the land the Lord gave them as their own.) ¹³ And the Lord said to me, "Now get up and cross the Zered Valley." So we crossed the valley. ¹⁴ It had been thirty-eight years from the time we left Kadesh Barnea until we crossed the Zered Valley.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Self,.... Along their coasts, by the borders of their country:

through the way of the plain; the wilderness of Zin, where Kadesh was:

from Elath and Eziongeber; the two ports on the shore of the Red sea in the land of Edom; it was from the latter they came to Kadesh; see

Numbers 33:35. Elath was ten miles from Petra, the metropolis of Edom, to the east of it, as Jerom says z; it is by Josephus a called Aelana, and by the Septuagint here Ailon; from whence the Elanitic bay has its name; he speaks of it as not far from Eziongeber, which he says was then called Berenice:

we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab; the wilderness which is before Moab, towards the sun rising or the east, Numbers 21:11.

z De loc. Heb. fol. 91. E. a Antiqu. l. 8. c. 6. sect. 4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Elath (Akaba) is at the northern extremity of the eastern arm of the Red Sea, and gives to that arm the name of the Elanitic Gulf. The name means “trees;” and is still justified by the grove of palm-trees at Akaba.
