Jaakan
Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]
Forefather of the Benejaakan, "the children of Jaakan," who gave their name to one stage of the Israelites' journeyings. In Numbers 33:31 the order is, "from Moseroth" to Benejaakan; in Deuteronomy 10:6 it is "from the wells (beerot ) of the children of Jaakan to Mosera." Probably Israel visited the two places twice: on the first march toward Canaan, from Mosera to Benejaakan ( Numbers 33:31); the reverse order in Deuteronomy 10:6, the 40th year, when the march was differently directed.
Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary [2]
This is spoken of in Israel's journey when they went from Beeroth. ( Deuteronomy 10:6.) If it be a place, perhaps it was so called from the meaning of the word Canan, rest; otherwise, if referring to the children of Jaakon, we might have expected the name would have been Bene Jaakan, the sons of Jaakan.
