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.
