Commentary on Numbers 21:11

Theological / Devotional

Ije-abarim. Literally, “the rains of the Abariim.” The first word is from the same root as Ai, which means “stone heap,” or “ruins.” The second means “the other side,” and is the one from which we get the word “Hebrews,” that is, the ones who passed over from the other side — immigrants from beyond the Euphrates. Accordingly, some would translate Ije-abarim as “the places of the Hebrews” (see on Gen. 10:21).

Which is before Moab. The wilderness of Moab (Deut. 2:8). The Israelites were now going northward.
