Hazeroth

Camp of the Israelites during their wanderings in the desert. It was the third camp from Mt Sinai (Nm 11:35; 12:16; 33:17–18; Dt 1:1). Here Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses for marrying a Cushite woman and questioned whether God spoke only through Moses (Nm 12:1–2). The site is probably modern ‘Ain Khadra, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) northeast of Jebel Musa.
