A wilderness region or frontier zone between Egypt and southern Canaan, marking the edge of habitable desert. Abraham traveled through the region between Kadesh and Shur as a resident alien, and it appeared in desert narratives involving the patriarchs and Israel's early wilderness wanderings. The term likely describes a trade-route corridor more than a single settlement.
