Senses in use

  1. Wilderness campsite in Israel's itinerary · dominant

    The form is tagged as a proper noun in each occurrence. In Numbers 21:10 the APB renders Israel as camping there, while in Numbers 21:11 it renders the next movement as setting out from it toward Iye-abarim; Numbers 33:43 and Numbers 33:44 repeat the same arrival-and-departure sequence.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: Across the cited verses, the APB presents the name as “Oboth,” locating it in clauses about Israel camping there or setting out from there. The paraphrase is not word-aligned, but its repeated itinerary wording confirms the place-name setting.
