Hazeroth

HAZEROTH (ha-zē'rŏth, courts or villages). A station on Israel’s journeys in the wilderness, about forty-two (seventy km.) miles from Mount Sinai, northeastward toward the Gulf of Aqabah. The people seem to have stayed there for some time after the terrible plague at Kibroth Hattaavah (Num.11.35). Aaron and Miriam rebelled against Moses here (Num.12.1-Num.12.16). The identification of the place is uncertain.
