Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

אֲתָרִים proper name, of a location only Numbers 21:1 ׳דֶּרֶח הָא; so ᵐ5, perhaps (Di) name of a caravan-route, compare

vestige, footprint; others (after ᵑ7ᵑ6) translate way of the spies (compare Numbers 13:22); but הָאֲתָרִים for הַתָּרִים is highly improbable, and a locality would hardly receive its designation from the spies.

אתת (? √ of following, meaning dubious. Lag^{M ii. 254} proposes √ אנה, whence he derives also Arabic a tool used in tillage).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

אֲתָרִים (“places,” “regions”), pr.n. of a place to the south of Palestine. Numbers 21:1, דֶּרֶךְ אֲתָרִים “in the way which leads to Atharim.”
