All of these clearly show that Paran could not be as far south as Mecca.

Great Copy and Past,,,,, friend,
when You want to answer a proof about something , You should start discussing the told proof , then tell your proof, so lets agree with you a lil ,and say that your post is right,and Paran is in Sinia..........then how the sons of Ishmael spreaded all over the desert of Arabia"the land containing Saudi Arabia and Yeman...........??

But what is Paran...........??
Strong's Hebrew: 6290. Pa'ran (paw-rawn')
6290. Pa'ran (paw-rawn')
From pa'ar; ornamental; Paran, a desert of Arabia -- Paran.
see HEBREW pa'ar
many Christians and Jews do their best to twist the facts and say that Paran is in Sinia , but with no evidence.
And the Bible says:
Genesis 25:16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. 17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people. 18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
But where is that Havilah ..??
Quote:
Smith’s Bible Dictionary
Havilah: the sand region.
A district in Arabia Felix, (Genesis 10:7) named from the second son of Cush; probably the district of Kualan, in the northwestern part of Yemen.

And for Shur....??
Quote:
Easton’s Bible Dictionary
Shur: an enclosure; a wall, a part, probably, of the Arabian desert, on the north-eastern border of Egypt, giving its name to a wilderness extending from Egypt toward Philistia (Genesis 16:7;20:1;25:18; Ex.15:22). The name was probably given to it from the wall (or shur) which the Egyptians built to defend their frontier on the north-east from the desert tribes. This wall or line of fortifications extended from Pelusium to Heliopolis.
