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 âtrees;â and is still justified by the grove of palm-trees at Akaba.
