Komentaryo sa Mga Bilang 32:8: Rashi & Siftei Chakhamim

כֹּ֥ה עָשׂ֖וּ אֲבֹתֵיכֶ֑ם בְּשָׁלְחִ֥י אֹתָ֛ם מִקָּדֵ֥שׁ בַּרְנֵ֖עַ לִרְא֥וֹת אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

“Ganyan din ang ginawa ng inyong mga ama nang suguin ko sila mula sa Kades-barnea upang tingnan ang lupain.”

Rashi

מקדש ברנע FROM KADESH-BARNEA — this was its name. There were two places called Kadesh (therefore this one is distinguished from the other by being called Kadesh-Barnea).

Siftei Chakhamim

There were two places named Kadeish. Meaning that when it writes Kadeish Barnei’a you should not say that it was named Kadeish and its ruler was called Barnei’a, as with Elonei Mamre (Bereishis 13:18) where the owner of the plain was called Mamre. Therefore, Rashi explains, “This was its name” and Kadeish Barnei’a was the name of that place. But since elsewhere (24:14, 33:37) Kadeish is mentioned alone, Rashi therefore explains that there were two places named Kadeish.
