In Numbers 21:23 and Judges 11:20, Sihon comes or camps there and fights Israel; in Joshua 13:18 and Joshua 21:36, the APB renders it within lists of cities. In Isaiah 15:4 and Jeremiah 48:34, cries are heard as far as or raised to this location, while Jeremiah 48:21 includes it among places upon which judgment has come.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the term as “Jahaz” when it can be identified in the surrounding clause: a destination in battle accounts, an item in city lists, and a place reached by cries or judgment. These renderings confirm the verse-level setting rather than isolate every contribution of the Hebrew token.
