Paran (פָּארָן, paran). The region of wilderness south of Israel and west of Edom (Gen 21:21; Num 10:12; 12:16; 13:26; Deut 1:1; 1 Sam 25:1). Paran and Kadesh are often listed in parallel. For example, in Num 13:26 the Israelite spies return to “Paran, at Kadesh” (ESV). Deuteronomy 1:1 contrasts with Deut 1:2 by alternately using Paran and Kadesh, which suggests that the two names refer to the same location.
