Hazeroth

HAZEROTH hə zĭr’ ŏth (חֲצֵרֹֽת). A camp of the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings, the third from Sinai (Num 33:17, 18; 11:35; 12:16; Deut 1:1). At Hazeroth, Aaron and Miriam quarreled with Moses regarding his marriage to a Cushite woman and his claim that God spoke only through him (Num 12:1, 2). It is prob. to be identified with ’Ain Khadra, about thirty m. NE of Jebel Musa, on the way to Aqabah.
