**מנגב לקדש ברנע.**תימה להרב בכור שור דהכא משמע דקדש ברנע היתה מארץ כנען והלא משה רבינו לא עבר הירדן ומקדש ברנע שלח מרגלים דכתיב בשלוח אותם מקדש ברנע. ונ"ל דתרי קדש ברנע הוו כדאי' בפ' ג' דמכות א"ר יוסי תרתי קדש היו וכן ביהושע מונה אותו בעיירות שמעבר לירדן וכן פרש"י דתרי הר ההר הוו לפי שמצינו בהר ההר מת אהרן שלא עבר את הירדן והכא משמע שהוא מארץ כנען דכתיב תתאו לכם הר ההר:
מנגב לקדש נרנע, “from the south, (southern border) as far as Kadesh Barnea. Rav B’chor Shor raises the question that in this verse Kadesh Barnea is described as being part of the land of Canaan, i.e. the west bank of the Jordan, whereas when Moses dispatched the spies in Joshua 14,7 Calev described Moses as having dispatched them from that place, and Moses had never set foot across the Jordan. I believe that there must have been two locations each bearing the name Kadesh Barnea, and this is supported by the Talmud in the third chapter of tractate Makkot where Rabbi Yossi is quoted as having said so. This place is also listed as a place on the east Bank of the Jordan in Joshua 15,3. Rashi also explains that there where two locations both named Hor Hahar, seeing that Aaron died there and he too had never crossed the river Jordan. (Numbers 20,28) On the other hand, in verse 7 of our chapter, Hor Hahar is described as part of the Land of Canaan on the west bank of that river.
