STAT. XXXI.
Verse 35. EZION-GABER.] Dr. Shaw places this port on the western coast of the Elantic gulf of the Red Sea. It is now called Meenah el Dsahab, or the golden port, by the Arabs; because it was from this place that Solomon sent his ships for gold to Ophir, 1Kg 9:26. He supposes it to be about sixty miles distant from Mount Sinai. - Travels, p. 322, 4to. edition.

Num 33:35. Ezion-gaber — A seaport town situated on the Red sea, in the land of Edom, near Arabia Felix, Deu 2:8; 2Ch 8:17. All the encampments, from Num 33:16 to this place, were wanderings backward again toward the Red sea, for thirty-eight years together. They were led to and fro, backward and forward, as in a maze or labyrinth, and yet were all the while under the direction of the pillar of cloud and fire. He led them about, (Deu 32:10,) and yet led them the right way, Psa 107:7. The way God takes in bringing his people to himself is always the best way, all circumstances considered, although it does not always appear to us the nearest way, and is often a way in which the Lord would not have led us, unless to chastise us for our sins, and save us from the love of them.

Asiongaber. Some place this station on the Mediterranean, where Strabo fixes the city of Gassion Gaber, the Beto Gabria of Ptolemy. But the Scripture informs us it lay on the Red Sea, 3 Kings ix. 16. Cellarius thinks most probably upon the Elanitic gulf, to the east of that of Suez, or Heroopolis, where Josephus maintains Asiongaber or Bernice stood. The Hebrews came to this station from that of Elat, Deuteronomy ii. 8. (Calmet)

35. Ezion-gaber — The giant’s backbone, so called from the head of a mountain that runs out into a point. It is the name of a seaport at the northeast end of the Elanitic Gulf, not far from Elath. Says Stanley, “There is nothing to fix its site.” Kiepert’s map (in Robinson, 1856) locates it at Ain el-Ghudyan, about ten miles up what is now the dry bed of the ‘Arabah, supposed to have been anciently covered by the waters of the Gulf. Num_14:25, note. Here the Israelites, in the times of Solomon and Jehoshaphat, built a fleet to sail to Ophir. 1Ki_9:26; 1Ki_22:49, notes.

Ezion-gaber, or rather "Etsion-geber," the "giant"s backbone." This can hardly be other than the place mentioned in 1Ki_9:26 2Ch_8:17 as the harbour of King Solomon"s merchant navy. At this later date it was at the head of the navigable waters of the Elanitic Gulf, but considerable changes have taken place in the shore line since the age of Solomon, and no doubt similar changes took place before. It was known to, and at times occupied by, the Egyptians, and the wretched village which occupies the site is still called Aszium by the Arabs. The name itself would seem to be due to some peculiar rock formation probably the serrated crest either of a neighbouring mountain or of a half-submerged reef.
