Heb .
midbar , "
pasture -
ground ;"
an open tract for pasturage ;
a common (
Joel 2 :
22 ).
The "
backside of the desert " (
Ex .
3 :
1 )
is the west of the desert ,
the region behind a man ,
as the east is the region in front .
The same Hebrew word is rendered "
wildernes ,"
and is used of the country lying between Egypt and Palestine (
Gen .
21 :
14 ,
21 ;
Ex .
4 :
27 ;
19 :
2 ;
Josh .
1 :
4 ),
the wilderness of the wanderings .
It was a grazing tract ,
where the flocks and herds of the Israelites found pasturage during the whole of their journey to the Promised Land .
The same Hebrew word is used also to denote the wilderness of Arabia ,
which in winter and early spring supplies good pasturage to the flocks of the nomad tribes than roam over it (
1 Kings 9 :
18 ).
The wilderness of Judah is the mountainous region along the western shore of the Dead Sea ,
where David fed his father '
s flocks (
1 Sam .
17 :
28 ;
26 :
2 ).
Thus in both of these instances the word denotes a country without settled inhabitants and without streams of water ,
but having good pasturage for cattle ;
a country of wandering tribes ,
as distinguished from that of a settled people (
Isa .
35 :
1 ;
50 :
2 ;
Jer .
4 :
11 ).
Such ,
also ,
is the meaning of the word "
wilderness "
in Matt .
3 :
3 ;
15 :
33 ;
Luke 15 :
4 .
(
2 .)
The translation of the Hebrew _Aribah '
_ , "
an arid tract "
(
Isa .
35 :
1 ,
6 ;
40 :
3 ;
41 :
19 ;
51 :
3 ,
etc .).
The name Arabah is specially applied to the deep valley of the Jordan (
the Ghor of the Arabs ),
which extends from the lake of Tiberias to the Elanitic gulf .
While _midbar_ denotes properly a pastoral region ,
_arabah_ denotes a wilderness .
It is also translated "
plains ;"
as "
the plains of Jericho " (
Josh .
5 :
10 ;
2 Kings 25 :
5 ),
"
the plains of Moab " (
Num .
22 :
1 ;
Deut .
34 :
1 ,
8 ), "
the plains of the wilderness " (
2 Sam .
17 :
16 ).
(
3 .)
In the Revised Version of Num .
21 :
20 the Hebrew word _jeshimon_ is properly rendered "
desert ,"
meaning the waste tracts on both shores of the Dead Sea .
This word is also rendered "
desert "
in Ps .
78 :
40 ;
106 :
14 ;
Isa .
43 :
19 ,
20 .
It denotes a greater extent of uncultivated country than the other words so rendered .
It is especially applied to the desert of the peninsula of Arabia (
Num .
21 :
20 ;
23 :
28 ),
the most terrible of all the deserts with which the Israelites were acquainted .
It is called "
the desert "
in Ex .
23 :
31 ;
Deut .
11 :
24 . (
See {
JESHIMON }.)
(
4 .)
A dry place ;
hence a desolation (
Ps .
9 :
6 ),
desolate (
Lev .
26 :
34 );
the rendering of the Hebrew word _horbah '
_ .
It is rendered "
desert "
only in Ps .
102 :
6 ,
Isa .
48 :
21 ,
and Ezek .
13 :
4 ,
where it means the wilderness of Sinai .
(
5 .)
This word is the symbol of the Jewish church when they had forsaken God (
Isa .
40 :
3 ).
Nations destitute of the knowledge of God are called a "
wilderness " (
32 :
15 ,
_midbar_ ).
It is a symbol of temptation ,
solitude ,
and persecution (
Isa .
27 :
10 ,
_midbar_ ;
33 :
9 ,
_arabah_ ).
