[Mesorah] Ein mafsikin b'massa'os

[Gershon Dubin]

<<This gets off Mesorah material, but I am sure that there were many travelers in the desert, caravans that passed through, and they named the places where they could rest, probably oases and wadis that had water in the winter.  The Sinai is not all endless sand like the Sahara.>> You were apparently not listening that carefully to last week's haftorah.  See Yirmiya 2:6;  the Gemara also learns from this pasuk that anyplace that Adam Harishon determined should be settled, was, and vice versa.  The implication is that Midbar Sinai was a complete wasteland.  Gershon
