King James Bible
"So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there."
This refers to Israel's extended stay at Kadesh-barnea after their rebellion and refusal to enter the Promised Land. The prolonged encampment became a consequence of their disobedience, marking a period of waiting in the wilderness rather than progressing toward their inheritance. This cryptic phrase likely means they stayed as long as they had already been there, suggesting a doubling of their time at Kadesh. The vague temporal reference reflects the aimless nature of this period—time passed without purpose or advancement, emphasizing the stagnation that resulted from their lack of faith.
