Albert Barnes Commentary Numbers 10:12

"And the children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran." — Numbers 10:12 (ASV)

The wilderness of Paran - See Genesis 14:6 note. The wilderness is mentioned here by anticipation. The earliest halting-places, Kibroth-hattaavah and Hazeroth, were not within its limits (Numbers 11:35; Numbers 12:16).
