In Numbers 21:11, the Proper Noun occurs in the report that they set out from Oboth and camped there in the wilderness facing Moab; the APB renders the place as “Iye-abarim.” Numbers 33:44 likewise places the camp there after Oboth and identifies it as being on Moab’s border.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Iye-abarim” in both verses, within travel-and-camping notices. Its surrounding geographic descriptions confirm the place-name setting rather than define the term independently.
