1. Kadesh (place name) — The proper place name Kadesh (קָדֵשׁ), a significant location in the wilderness of Zin where Israel encamped (Nu 13:26; 20:1,14,16,22; 27:14; 33:36-37; Dt 1:46; Jdg 11:16-17; Ps 29:8; Ezek 47:19; 48:28). All three clusters represent the same toponym with different prepositional attachments: locative 'in Kadesh' (בְּקָדֵשׁ), ablative 'from Kadesh' (מִקָּדֵשׁ), and bare directional. Spanish renders 'Cades/Kades,' Arabic 'قَادِشَ,' Korean '가데스/가데시,' Swahili 'Kadeshi,' and Hindi 'कादेश' uniformly across all contexts, confirming a single referent. 18×
