Paran was a barren region in the Sinai Peninsular. It was located south of Kadesh-barnea and west of Ezion-geber. (For map and other details see KADESH-BARNEA.) Refugees at times escaped to Paran, and the people of Israel camped there on their way from Egypt to Canaan (Genesis 21:21; Numbers 10:12; Numbers 13:25-26; 1 Kings 11:17-18).
