and encamped at Moseroth

on Numbers 33:30-35

Deuteronomy 10:6-7 names these same camps in the other order, from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera, then Gudgodah and Jotbath, and it puts Aaron's death at Mosera while verse 38 here puts it at mount Hor. Both accounts stand in the canon. Keil and Delitzsch read Moserah as the district in which mount Hor stands, and others take the two lists to record the same ground crossed twice. The chapter gives its own order and explains nothing about the other.

Next they come to Banaim [Bene-jaakan], which means "springs" or "filterings," that is, where one draws water from the springs of divine words until one filters them by drinking.… Thus a person filters the word of God when he does not omit even the least commandment, indeed when he gains the understanding that not even one iota or one dot in the word of God is insignificant.

The first was when they left Sinai in the second month (Nu 1:11;
