There is serious doubt about this location since it is well inside Edomite territory, and since it is very inaccessible for the transfer of the office.

L. Mihelec, IDB 2:644; and J. de Vaulx, Les Nombres [SB], 231). Others suggest it was at the foot of Mount Hor and not actually up in the mountains (see Deut 10:6).
