be.ne ya.a.qan is a proper name marking a camp location in the travel sequence of Numbers 33.

The term is used as a proper name for a location in the itinerary: the travelers arrive there from Moseroth and depart from it for Hor-haggidgad.

    In Numbers 33:31, the proper noun marks the place where the group camps after setting out from Moseroth; in Numbers 33:32, it marks the point from which they set out before camping at Hor-haggidgad. The APB renders the itinerary clauses “camped at Bene-jaakan” and “set out from Bene-jaakan.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Numbers 33:31 and Numbers 33:32, the APB presents the name as “Bene-jaakan,” first as the campsite and then as the departure point. The verse is read as a whole, but both clauses place the proper noun within the itinerary.
