PARAN, MOUNT OF
Open directlyHastings Dictionary of the Bible · 1898
PARAN, MOUNT OF, the place where the Lord is said to have shined forth. Deut 33:2; Hab 3:3. It was probably the most southern portion of the mountain-plateau in the north-eastern part of the wilderness of Paran, now Jebel Magra'h. In this region is situated 'Ain Gadis, which some identify with Kadesh, and the one encampment in the wilderness of Kadesh. Jebel Magra'h would always be the most conspicuous object, and would completely shut out from view the more fertile mountains beyond.
