Tell el-Qudeirat is an archaeological site in the Sinai, about 5 mi (8.0 km) east of the Egyptian village of Quseima. It is widely considered to be the location of the biblical Kadesh Barnea. Recently, some authors have referred to it as Tel Kadesh-barnea. Moshe Dothan (1965) referred to it as Tel 'Ein el Qudeirat, while in the early twentieth century Woolley and Lawrence used the spelling Tell Ain el Guderat.

  • Tell el-Qudeirat is an archaeological site in the Sinai, about 5 mi (8.0 km) east of the Egyptian village of Quseima. It is widely considered to be the location of the biblical Kadesh Barnea. Recently, some authors have referred to it as Tel Kadesh-barnea. Moshe Dothan (1965) referred to it as Tel 'Ein el Qudeirat, while in the early twentieth century Woolley and Lawrence used the spelling Tell Ain el Guderat. Tell el-Qudeirat is the name of the archaeological mound (the "tell") itself. It sits near Ain el-Qudeirat, which Carol Redmount describes as "the most fertile oasis in northern Sinai". The Ain ("spring") flows out of the ground about 1.5 km (0.93 mi) east of the tell, and the water from it flows west, becoming the Wadi el-Qudeirat. The tell then sits along the northern bank of the wadi, which continues flowing west and then turns toward the north. The tell is located along the southern base of a hill known as Jebel el-Qudeirat. During the Iron Age, Tell el-Qudeirat was a rectangular fortress, and multiple layers of fortifications have been uncovered. The modern site is a tell, an archaeological mound caused by long-term human habitation. At the lowest level, labelled 4c, are traces of human habitation dated by Israel Finkelstein to the twelfth to tenth centuries BCE. Carol Redmount, on the other hand, claims that the oldest remains at the site date to the tenth century. Tell el-Qudeirat is one of scores of permanent settlements which existed in Iron Age II in the Negev Highlands. (en)
