Hazeroth
    fenced enclosures consisting of "a low wall of stones in which
    thick bundles of thorny acacia are inserted, the tangled
    branches and long needle-like spikes forming a perfectly
    impenetrable hedge around the encampment" of tents and cattle
    which they sheltered. Such like enclosures abound in the
    wilderness of Paran, which the Israelites entered after leaving
    Sinai (Num. 11:35; 12:16; 33:17, 18). This third encampment of
    the Israelites has been identified with the modern 'Ain
    el-Hudhera, some 40 miles north-east of Sinai. Here Miriam
    (q.v.), being displeased that Moses had married a Cushite wife
    (Num. 12:1), induced Aaron to join with her in rebelling against
    Moses. God vindicated the authority of his "servant Moses," and
    Miriam was smitten with leprosy. Moses interceded for her, and
    she was healed (Num. 12:4-16). From this encampment the
    Israelites marched northward across the plateau of et-Tih, and
    at length reached KADESH.
