• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 11-12The Israelites traveled along the east side of Edom. Iye-abarim means "ruins of Abarim" or "ruins of the region beyond." It was probably near the northern bank of Zered Brook (compare Deuteronomy 2:13–14). This brook separated ancient Edom from Moab (Deuteronomy 2:8–25).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1212. pitched in the valley--literally, the "woody brook-valley" of Zared (De 2:13; Is 15:7; Am 6:14). This torrent rises among the mountains to the east of Moab, and flowing west, empties itself into the Dead Sea. Ije-Abarim is supposed to have been its ford [Calmet].Read the comment
