Numbers 21:10

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

¹⁰Then the Israelites set out and camped at Oboth.¹¹They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the wilderness opposite Moab to the east. ¹²From there they set out and camped in the Valley of Zered. ¹³From there they moved on and camped on the other side of the Arnon, in the wilderness that extends into the Amorite territory. Now the Arnon is the border between the Moabites and the Amorites. ¹⁴Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: "Waheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon, ¹⁵even the slopes of the wadis that extend to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab." ¹⁶From there they went on to Beer, the well where the LORD said to Moses, "Gather the people so that I may give them water." ¹⁷Then Israel sang this song: "Spring up, O well, all of you sing to it! ¹⁸The princes dug the well; the nobles of the people hollowed it out with their scepters and with their staffs." From the wilderness the Israelites went on to Mattanah, ¹⁹and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the children of Israel set forward,.... From Zalmonah, and came to Punon, which, according to the above writer, was twenty miles from it; though here indeed, some think, the brazen serpent was set up, here being, as before observed, brass mines to furnish with that metal:

and pitched in Oboth; which was twenty four miles from Punon, as says the same writer: the word signifies bottles; perhaps here the Israelites got water and filled their bottles, or, as others think, they filled them with the wine of Moab, and called the name of the place from thence; it is perhaps the same with the Eboda of Ptolemy h, which he places in Arabia Petraea; and of which Pliny i also makes mention.

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.
