  • GEN 14:1–12, engwebp

    1In the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar; Arioch, king of Ellasar; Chedorlaomer, king of Elam; and Tidal, king of Goiim,

    2they made war with Bera, king of Sodom; Birsha, king of Gomorrah; Shinab, king of Admah; Shemeber, king of Zeboiim; and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).

    3All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).

    4They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

    5In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

    6and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El Paran, which is by the wilderness.

    7They returned, and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.

    8The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out; and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim

    9against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.

    10Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and some fell there. Those who remained fled to the hills.

    11They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.

    12They took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

  • GEN 20:1–7, engwebp

    1Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in Gerar.

    2Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

    3But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.”

    4Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, “Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?

    5Didn’t he tell me, ‘She is my sister’? She, even she herself, said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”

    6God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you to touch her.

    7Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”

Unresolved interpretation: The Kadesh of Numbers and the En Mishpat of Genesis
  • Numbers 13:26 puts the Kadesh to which the spies return in the wilderness of Paran. Later chapters of Numbers (20:1, 33:36) put Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
