The 12 spies (among them Joshua and Caleb) sent out by Moses to spy out the Promised Land were dispatched from Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin (Tsin), so to say that wilderness is somewhere along the thousand miles south along the eastern coast of the Red Sea to where many say is Mount Sinai (Jebel Musa) is absurd, in reality Jebel Maqla or Mount Horeb the true Mount Sinai where Moses met Elohim and received the Ten Commandments, about 100 miles to the southeast from Eilat, Israel.
