At Kadesh were four copious springs feeding several streams on the banks of which grew small acacia trees; it was a site lending itself to cultivation on a small scale, and an obvious centre for the establishment of a sort of federal capital which could become the kernel of the political and religious organization of the Yisraelites. Mosheh therefore settled there with the Tabernacle, YAHWEH’s Dwelling. |
