Anton. The Amon River flows through the present Wadi el Mojib, which is some 1,700 ft. deep and 2 mi. broad, cut into the plateau of Moab. Its gorge is a miniature Grand Canyon.

In the wilderness. The Israelites were still eastward of Moab, in the wilderness of Kedemoth (Deut. 2:26).

Between Moab and the Amorites. The river Amon rises in the highlands of Arabia and empties into the Dead Sea. The territory of Moab lay to the south of the river, and that of the Amorites to the north (see on Gen. 10:16). The Moabites had been forced south of the Amon by Sihon (Num. 21:26; Judges 11:22).
