Commentary on Genesis 14:7

Theological / Devotional

En-mishpat, which is Kadesh. This passage mentions for the first time a desert oasis destined to play an important role in the history of the Israelites during their 40 years of wandering. Its full name was Kadesh-bamea (see Num. 32:8). The earlier name En-mishpat means “Spring of Judgment.”

The Amalekites, and also the Amorites. The Amalekites, desert tribes that roamed in the regions south of Palestine, were the next objective of the victorious forces, as were also the Amorites living west of the Dead Sea. Hazezon-tamar is identified in 2 Chron. 20:2 with En-gedi.
