Kadesh (or Kadesh-barnea) was a key location in the wilderness where the Israelites camped during their 40-year journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. This was the place where they had previously sent out the twelve spies to scout the land of Canaan, and where they rebelled against God's command to enter the land due to fear of the inhabitants.
