AI summary: Meribah-kadesh carries the later and more solemn Meribah tradition. It is the place near Kadesh where dispute over water led to God's provision but also to judgment on Moses. Ezekiel's boundary references keep the name in view as part of the land's southern edge. The cross references present Meribah-kadesh as a place of final wilderness testing, consequence, and remembered boundary.1
