the wilderness See on Numbers 21:13.

Jahaz Deuteronomy 2:32; Isaiah 15:4; Jeremiah 48:34. The form Jahzah is used in Joshua 13:18; Joshua 21:36; Judges 11:20 (Heb.), Jer 48:21, 1 Chronicles 6:78. The site is unknown, but it evidently lay on the eastern boundary of Sihon's territory, since he came thither to prevent Israel from crossing it. In agreement with this it is twice mentioned with Kedemoth (Joshua 13:18; Joshua 21:36 f.), which is the name of -the wilderness" in Deuteronomy 2:26, and twice seems to be named as a limit of Moab, at some distance from Heshbon (Isaiah 15:4; Jeremiah 48:34).
