        Numbers 1:1-3 <p> </p>

        <p> <strong> ATHARIM </strong> ( Numbers 21:1 ). [[Either]] a proper name of a place from which the route was named; so RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘the way of Atharim,’ as LXX [Note: Septuagint.] , or, ‘the way of tracks,’ <em> i.e. </em> a regular caravan road. (The rendering of AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , ‘way of the spies,’ follows Targ. and Syr.) The ‘way of Atharim’ will then be that described in Numbers 13:21-25 . </p>

        <p> ( אתרים ,''''' ''''' <i> 'ăthārı̄m </i> ): the Revised Version (British and American) "The way of Atharim"; the King James Version "The way of the spies." the Revised Version (British and American) regards [[Atharim]] as a place (so Septuagint). the King James Version follows [[Syriac]] and Targum, rendering Atharim as if Tarim = spies. [[Dillmann]] translates "the caravan path," connecting it with Arabic <i> '''''athar''''' </i> , "a track or footprint." Here the king of Arad fought against Israel, taking some captives ( Numbers 21:1 ). See [[Hormah]] . </p>

        <p> (Hebrews Atharinm', אֲתָרַים, regions; Sept. Ἀθαρείμ ), a place in the south of [[Palestine]] near which the Israelites passed on their way thither ( Numbers 21:1, where the English version improperly renders דֶּרֶךְ הָאֲתָרַים, " the way of the spies;" see Gesenius, Thes. Heb. p. 171). It was, perhaps, a general designation of the region north of Mount Seir through which the [[Canaanites]] presumed that the Israelites were about to pass, as indeed they would have done but for the Edomites' refusal of a passage to them. (See Exoic). </p>
