and not at Corondel, as Your Lordlhip has fo ftrenuoufly main-

You urge further in Favour of your Hjpothe/is, that from 

 Elim the Ifraelites removed to the Red Sea ; which Station con- 

 Jequently mnjl have been quite out of the JVay^ provided Elim 

 was Situated at the Baths of Mofes \ and again, // Sm lay 

 where I have fixed tt, then it would have too near a Situation 

 ioSinai\ and, as your Lordfliip argues thereupon, it is hardly 

 to he thought that the Ifraelites Jhould make fuch extravagant 

 Hajle as to come in one Month from Ramefes to the Baths of 

 Mofes, and then to loiter a whole Month in going from that 

 Tart of the Defert of Sin to the Wilder nefs of Sinai \ which 

 was ahnoft contiguous to it. But the Scriptures, my Lord, 

 muft anfwer for their Wandering in the Wildernefs out of the 

 Way, as well as for their extravagant Hafle, as you exprefs it, 

 at one Time, and for their loitering, at another. The wife 

 Ends and Defigns of Providence were carried on both in their 

 Stations and in their Marches ; They were to follow the Cloud, 

 or, as it is faid after the Tabernacle was made, at the Com- 

 mandment of the Lord they journeyed, and at the Command- 

 ment of the Lord they pitched; as long as the Cloud remained 

 on the Tabernacle they refted in their Tents. Numb. 9. 18. 



Your Lordfhip obferves (p. 588.) that Dr. Shaw's ^Jfertion 

 cannot he true, that Kadefh was Situated upon the mofl ad- 

 vanced Tart of Mount Seir towards the Land of Canaan : he- 

 caufe Kadepj lay in the utter mofl of the Border ofEdom South- 

 ward. Now if it were fo, then Mount Seir, the fame with 

 Mount Hor or Edom, muft lie betwixt Kadefh and the Land 

 of Canaan. But the Contrary to this, (without having re- 

 courfe to Arguments already given Trav. p. 3 5 y. 3 fO. Suppl. 

 p.ioy.) appears plain from what your Lordfhip affirms (p.389.) 

 that this fame Station of Kadefh is mention d {Jofj. ly. 1.) as 

 being the mofl Southern Tart of the South Boundary of the Chil- 

 dren of Judah. Mount Seir confequently, agreeably to your 

 Lordfliip s Opinion, muft have made Part of the Inheritance 

 oi Judah, as being comprehended within their Boundary; 

 which I prefume will not be aflerted; for God gave untoEfau 

 {Gen. 36. 8.) Mount Seir to poffefs it. 



I have obferved (Tr.^'y. p. 348.) that the Red Sea, where 

 the Ifraelites are fuppofed to have pafled it, is ten Miles 



B broad.
