Deuteronomy 1:44-46

Contemporary English Version

⁴⁴ But when the Amorites in the hill country attacked from their towns, you ran from them as you would run from a swarm of bees. The Amorites chased your troops into Seir^[a] as far as Hormah, killing them as they went. ⁴⁵ Then you came back to the place of worship at Kadesh-Barnea and wept, but the Lord would not listen to your prayers.

Israel Spent Years in the Desert

Moses said to Israel:

⁴⁶ After we had been in Kadesh for a few months, we obeyed the Lord and headed back into the desert by way of Red Sea^[b] Road.
