Contextual Overview

10 And the sons of Israel brake up, - and encamped in Oboth. 11 And they brake up from Oboth, - and encamped in Ije-Abarim, in the desert which is over against Moab, towards the rising of the sun. 12 From thence, brake they up, - and encamped in the ravine of Zered. 13 From thence, brake they up, and encamped on the other side of Arnon which is in the desert, that cometh forth out of the boundary of the Amorites, - for, Arnon, is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 14 For this cause is it said, in the Book of the Wars of Yahweh, - …Waheb with a hurricane, And the ravines of Arnon; 15 And the bottom of the ravines, that extendeth toward the dwelling of Ar, - And adjoineth to the boundary of Moab, 16 And from thence, towards Beer, - the same, is the well whereof Yahweh said unto Moses, Gather together the people, that I may give them water. 17 Then, sang Israel this song, - Spring thou up, O well! Respond ye thereunto; 18 A well! - princes digged it, Nobles of the people, delved it, With a sceptre, With their staves. And, from the desert, to Mattanah; 19 and from Mattanah, 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.
