    All four occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Deuteronomy 2:26 the APB renders “the wilderness of Kedemoth” as the place from which messengers are sent; in Joshua 13:18 it appears in a list with Jahaz and Mephaath, while Joshua 21:37 names it with its pasture. In 1 Chronicles 6:64, the verse's statement that cities and pasture lands were given to the Levites provides the broader city-list setting, though the APB does not isolate the term there.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly presents the name as “Kedemoth” in Deuteronomy 2:26, Joshua 13:18, and Joshua 21:37. In 1 Chronicles 6:64 it gives only the broader statement about cities and pasture lands, so the term's specific English presentation is not isolated there.
