Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - The cliff of Ziz. Read with Revised Version, the ascent of Ziz (or probably Hazziz), a place named only here. The Hebrew word here rendered "cliff ' is the familiar מַעֲלֵה, meaning "an ascent," or "a rising ground." It is replaced in the Septuagint by both ἀνάβασις and πρόσβασις. Stanley, in an interesting note on the word ('Sinai and Palestine,' p. 500, edit. 1866), says it is applied to several localities in Palestine, viz.: (1) The "Ascent of Akrabbim," i.e. scorpions (Numbers 34:4; Judges 1:36; Joshua 15:3), on the south border of Judah and probably the same as the Pass of Safeh. (2) "The going up to (or of) Adummim," i.e. the "ascent of the Red," near Gilgal, on border of Judah and Benjamin (Joshua 15:7; Joshua 18:17), probably the same with the "Pass of Jericho." (3) The" going up to Gut" (2 Kings 9:27). . . .
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Against them.--Or, unto them.They come up by the cliff of Ziz.--They are about ascending by the ascent of Hazziz. Vulg., "ascensuri enim sunt per clivum," &c.The brook.--The wady, ravine, or water-course.The wilderness of Jeruel.--The name is unknown, but comparing 2Chronicles 20:2; 2Chronicles 20:16; 2Chronicles 20:20, it appears that the great stretch of waste, now called el Husasah, from a wady on the north side of it, is intended. The "ascent of Hazziz" would be a pass or mountain path, leading up from Engedi to this desert table-land. (With the name Hazziz, comp. Hakkoz. Perhaps Husasah preserves a trace of it. The LXX. has ?????? Syriac and Arabic, "the ascent of dawn," omitting "Jeruel.")
