Places of the Bible

Meribah (of Kadesh)

Another fountain having a similar origin in the desert of Zin, near to Kadesh ([Num. 27:14](/num#Num.27.14)). The two places are mentioned together in [Deut. 33:8](/deut#Deut.33.8). Some think the one place is called by the two names ([Ps. 81:7](/ps#Ps.81.7)). In smiting the rock at this place Moses showed the same impatience as the people ([Num. 20:10-12](/num#Num.20.10)). This took place near the close of the wanderings in the desert ([Num. 20:1-24](/num#Num.20.1); [Deut. 32:51](/deut#Deut.32.51)).
