This ascent is by some late writers identified with the pass of Sufah, leading from the desert et-Tih to the Negeb, or "South" of Judah; and to this view Tristram lends his adhesion (Bible Places, p. 9). But in this they are actuated by a desire to locate Kadesh-barnea (q.v.) at Ain-Gadis, instead of one of the springs on the western edge of the Arabah.
(See MAALEH-ACRABBIM).
÷ Acre
Acre
is put by our translators (Isaiah 5:10) for צֶמֶד, tse' med, which properly means a yoke, i.e. as much land as a yoke of oxen can plough in a day. So the Latin jugerum, an acre, from jugum, a yoke. (See MEASURE). In 1 Samuel 14:14, the word "acre" is supplied in our translation after מִעֲנָה, a furrow, which is omitted (see margin).
(See ACCHO).
