In Deut. x. 6, 7 (which has been interpolated in the middle of the narrative of the legislation at Mount Sinai), the order of events is: (1) Departure from Beeroth of Beni-Yaakan to Mosera, (2) death of Aaron at Mosera, (3) departure to Gudgodah, (4) departure to Yotbath. In Numb. xx., xxxiii. 30-39 it is, on the contrary: (1) Departure from Hashmonah to Moseroth, (2) departure to Beni-Yaakan, (3) departure to Hor-hagidgad, the Gudgodah of Deuteronomy, (4) departure to Yotbathah, (5) departure to Ebronah, (6) departure to Ezion-geber, (7) departure to Kadesh, (8) departure to Mount Hor, (9) death of Aaron on Mount Hor. Footnote 227: The passage was already corrupt in the time of the Septuagint translators. But instead of _eth-wâhab_, their text reads _eth-zâhâb_. If this was correct, the reference would probably be to Dhi-Zahab, ‘(the mines) of gold’ which, according to Deut. i. 1, was not far from Sûph. Footnote 228: _Zeitschrift des Palästina Vereins_, xiv. pp. 142 _sq._ Tell ’Ashtereh is the Ashteroth-Karnaim of Gen. xiv. 5. Footnote 229: Professor Erman reads them Akna-Zapn, perhaps Yakin-Zephon, ‘Jachin of the North.’ Above the figures is the winged solar disk (Erman, _Der Hiobstein_ in the _Zeitschrift des Palästina Vereins_, xiv. pp. 210, 211). Footnote 230: On the left side of the base of the second statue in front of the pylon, where it follows the name of Assar, the Asshurim of Gen. xxv. 3; see Daressy, _Notice explicative des Ruines du Temple de Louxor_, p. 19. Footnote 231: Bela’s city is stated to have been Dinhabah (Gen. xxxvi. 32), which Dr. Neubauer has identified with Dunip, now Tennib, north-west of Aleppo, which played an important part in the history of Western Asia during the fifteenth century B.C. Footnote 232: W. A. I. i. 46; Col. iii. 29, 30. In another passage Esar-haddon describes them as ‘serpents with two heads’ (Budge, _History of Esar-haddon_, p. 120). Footnote 233: Bronze serpents were regarded in Babylonia as divine protectors of a building, and were accordingly ‘set up’ at its entrance. Thus Nebuchadrezzar says of the walls of Babylon, ‘On the thresholds of the gates I set up mighty bulls of bronze and huge serpents that stood erect’ (W. A. I. i. 65, i. 19-21). Footnote 234: It is called simply Iyîm in the official itinerary (Numb. xxxiii. 45). Punon is the Pinon of Gen. xxxvi. 41, where it is coupled with Elah, the El-Paran of Gen. xiv. 6. Footnote 235: Those who wish to see what can be done by ingenious philological conjectures which satisfy none but their authors may turn to a paper by Professor Budde in the _Actes du Dixième Congrès Internationale des Orientalistes_, iii. pp. 13-18, where they will find a ‘revised’ version of Numb. xxi. 17, 18.
