And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.

Pitched at Ije-abarim, х bª-`Iyeey-haa-`Abaariym (H5863)] - at the heaps or mounds, probably covered with ruins, of Abarim: a name descriptive generally of the highland region east and southeast of the Dead Sea. It is called simply х `Iyiym (H5864)], Iim, Numbers 33:45, and Abarim is added here perhaps to distinguish it from a town of Judah (Joshua 15:29). [The Septuagint calls it Achalgai and Gai (Numbers 33:44).]

In the wilderness, х bamidbaar (H4057)] - in the uncultivated waste х 'ªsher (H834) `al (H5921) pªneey (H6440) Mow'aab (H4124)], which is in the face of Moab - i:e., in the east, strictly southeast, border of that territory; but the exact position is not known.
