Numbers 21:4 meaning and explanation
Then they set out from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, in order to bypass the land of Edom. But the people grew impatient on the journey
Numbers 21:4, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Numbers 21:4 finds Israel newly grieving Aaron's death at Mount Hor and refused passage through Edom, so they turn south toward the Red Sea to go around that hostile territory. The Hebrew word for impatient, qatsar, carries the sense of a spirit grown short or cut off, and it describes a people worn down by a long detour with no clear end in sight.
