Contextual Overview

10 The people of Israel traveled on, and set up their tents in Oboth. 11 Then they left Oboth and stopped at Iye-abarim, in the desert beside Moab, to the east. 12 From there they traveled on to Wadi Zered. 13 And from there they traveled on and set up their tents on the other side of the Arnon. It is in the desert that goes out from the land of the Amorites. For the Arnon is the side of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 14 So it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord: "Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon, 15 and the hill-side of the valleys that goes to the place of Ar, and rests on the side of Moab." 16 From there they went on to Beer. That is the well where the Lord said to Moses, "Gather the people together, so I may give them water." 17 Then Israel sang this song: "Come up, O well! Sing to it! 18 The well, which the leaders dug, which the rulers of the people dug, with the special stick of power and with their walking sticks." From the desert they went on to Mattanah. 19 From Mattanah they went to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zered. Or the brook Zered, as in Deuteronomy 13:14 that is near it: this seems to be the same station with Dibongad, Numbers 33:45, and which, according to the above writer, was sixteen miles from Ijeabarim.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The valley of Zared - Rather, the brook or watercourse of Zared “the willow.” It is probably the present Wady Ain Franjy.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 21:12. They - pitched in the valley of Zared. — נחל זרד nachal zared. This should be translated the brook Zared, as it is in Deuteronomy 2:13-14. This stream has its origin in the mountains eastward of Moab, and runs from east to west, and discharges itself into the Dead Sea.
