    All four tokens are tagged Noun · Proper. In Numbers 21:19 and Numbers 21:20, the form marks successive locations in a route; the APB renders the sequence "from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth" and then "from Bamoth to the valley." In Joshua 13:17 and Numbers 22:41, the supplied form occurs within the place-name rendered "Bamoth Baal" or "Bamoth-baal," the latter being the place to which Balak brings Balaam.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the bare form as "Bamoth" in the route notices of Numbers 21:19 and Numbers 21:20, and presents the compound place-name as "Bamoth Baal" in Joshua 13:17 and "Bamoth-baal" in Numbers 22:41. These English forms show the verse-level presentation rather than isolating each original-language component.
