and pitched in Zalmonah
on Numbers 33:41-49
Zalmonah and Punon fall between mount Hor and Oboth, which is the stretch where Numbers 21:4-9 sets the fiery serpents and the serpent of brass that John 3:14-15 takes up by name. The mountains of Abarim before Nebo at verse 47 is the ground where Moses will be shown the land and die, in Deuteronomy 34:1-5, and the list names the place without saying so. Abel-shittim at verse 49 is the Shittim of Numbers 25:1, where Israel joined itself unto Baal-peor. The record of the stages stops at the camp where the plague of chapter 25 fell.
The record, by era
The Church Fathers1 voice
Next they come to Oboth. Although we have not found an interpretation of this name, nonetheless we do not doubt that in this name as in all the others the logic of the progresses is preserved.
The Nineteenth Century1 voice
Oboth - Mentioned before, Num 21:10. Stat. 37.
