The Pulpit Commentary on Joshua 12:14

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Hormah, Arad. Cities in the Negeb, near the border of Edom (see Numbers 14:45; Numbers 21:1, Numbers 21:3; Numbers 33:40). Hor-mah was originally known as Zephath (see 1:16, 1:17, where the fullest description of the locality is given).

It was in the wilderness of Judaea, in the arid country (Negeb) of Arad. Mr. Palmer identifies it with Sebaita, in the centre of the Negeb, in the Magrah-el-Esbaita, a mountain valley sloping down into the Wady-el-Abyadh.

Other explorers prefer Sulifat, and Rowlands and G. Williams, Sepata.
