Study note
Setting — The Israelite camp continues its wilderness march after departing Iye-abarim and approaching the eastern border of Moab.
The words — The text records נָסָ֑עוּ (na.Sa.'u), meaning "they set out," and וַֽ/יַּחֲנ֖וּ (va/i.ya.cha.Nu), meaning "and they encamped," marking the caravan's departure and arrival.
The thread — The site resurfaces in Deuteronomy 2:13, where the narrative records the people crossing the Brook of Zered.
Why it lands — The verse functions as a geographic waypoint, demanding the reader track the precise route of the wilderness journey without assuming later theological or territorial claims.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
The Hebrew words
King James Version
From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
