Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Dophkah - This place is not mentioned in Exodus and its situation is not known.
Stat. 9.

And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin,.... According to the account in Exodus, this was after they had the manna given them, see Exodus 17:1.
and encamped at Dophkah; twelve miles from the wilderness of Sin; and of this, and the next encampment, no mention is made in Exodus.

Dophkah . . . Alush . . . Rephidim--These three stations, in the great valleys of El Sheikh and Feiran, would be equivalent to four days' journey for such a host. Rephidim (Exodus 17:6) was in Horeb, the burnt region--a generic name for a hot, mountainous country. [See on Exodus 17:1.]
