Zin Desert The Wilderness of Zin/Desert of Zin ((ヘブライ語:מדבר צין), ''Midbar Tzin'') is a geographic area mentioned by the Torah as containing Kadesh-Barnea within it;〔e.g. ; 〕 and it is therefore also referred to as the "Wilderness of Kadesh". Most scholars, as well as traditional sources, consequently identify this wilderness as being part of the Arabah.〔Cheyne and Black, ''Encyclopedia Biblica'' 1899〕 Similarly named is the ''Wilderness of Sin''. Modern English translations make a distinction; but it is not easily evident from the LXX and the Vulgate that, apart from a couple of instances,〔, 〕 render both Hebrew ''ṣin'' and ''sîn'' as "Sin". The "Wilderness of Sin" is mentioned by the Bible as being adjacent to Mount Sinai; some consider Sinai to refer to al-Madhbah at Petra, adjacent to the central Arabah, and it is thus eminently possible that the "Wilderness of Sin" and the "Wilderness of Zin" are actually the same place. It was this region that the British Arabist and adventurer T. E. Lawrence was exploring in a military survey for the British army when he was drafted into service. His expedition, funded by the Palestine Exploration Fund, included a survey of the entire Negev Desert. ==References==
