'Deserts' in the Bible

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.

But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed.

For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts.
