Verse 18. RITHMAH.] This place lay somewhere in the wilderness of Paran, through which the Israelites were now passing. See Num 13:1; Num 13:3. The name signifies the juniper tree; and the place probably had its name from the great number of those trees growing in that district.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Rithmah. Comparing this verso with Num_12:16 and with Num_13:26,…
Rithmah. Comparing this verso with Num_12:16 and with Num_13:26, it would appear as if Rithmah were the station "in the wilderness of Paran" from which the spies went up, and to which they returned a station subsequently known by the name of Kadesh. There are two difficulties in the way of this identification. In the first place we should then only have three names of stations between Sinai and the southern border of Palestine, on what is at least eleven days" journey. This is, however, confessedly the case in the historical narrative, and it admits of explanation. We know that the first journey was a three days" journey, (Num_10:33) and the others may have been longer still, through a country which presented no facilities for encamping, and possessed no variety of natural features. In the second place, Rithmah is not Kadesh, and cannot be connected with Kadesh except through a doubtful identification with the Wady Retemat in the neighbourhood of Ain Kudes. (see note at end of Nu 13) It is, however, evident from Num_12:16, as compared Num_13:26, that Kadesh was not the name originally given to the encampment "in the wilderness of Paran." It seems to have got that name perhaps owing to some popular feeling with respect to an ancient sanctuary, perhaps owing to some partial shifting of the camp during the absence of the spies. Rithmah, therefore, may well have been the official name (so to speak) originally given to the encampment, but subsequently superseded by the more famous name of Kadesh; this would explain both its non-appearance in the narrative of Numbers, and its appearance in the Itinerary here.
