Contextual Overview

10The Israelites set out and camped at Oboth. 11They set out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the wilderness that borders Moab on the east. 12From there they went and camped at Zered Valley. 13They set out from there and camped on the other side of the Arnon River, in the wilderness that extends from the Amorite border, because the Arnon was the Moabite border between Moab and the Amorites. 14Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Lord’s Wars: 15even the slopes of the ravinesthat extend to the site of Arand lie along the border of Moab. 16From there they went to Beer, the well the Lord told Moses about, “Gather the people so I may give them water.” 17Then Israel sang this song: 18The princes dug the well;the nobles of the people hollowed it outwith a scepter and with their staffs. 19from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they journeyed from Oboth,.... How long they stayed there is not certain:

and pitched at Ijeabarim; which, according to Bunting k, was sixteen miles from Oboth; Jarchi says it was the way that passengers pass by Mount Nebo to the land of Canaan, and which divides between the land of Moab and the land of the Amorites:

in the wilderness which is before Moab; called the wilderness of Moab, Deuteronomy 2:8

towards the sunrising; the east side of the land of Moab,

Judges 11:18.

k Ut supra. (Travels of the Patriarchs, &c. 83.)

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The earlier stations in this part of their journey were Zalmonah and Punon Numbers 33:41-42. Oboth was north of Punon, east of the northern part of Edom, and is pretty certainly the same as the present pilgrim halting-place el-Ahsa. Ije (“ruinous heaps”) of Abarim, or Iim of Abarim, was so called to distinguish it from another Iim in southwestern Canaan Joshua 15:29. Abarim denotes generally the whole upland country on the east of the Jordan. The Greek equivalent of the name is Peraea.
