Iye-Abarim
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Iye-Abarim (‘Iyim of the regions beyond,’ distinguishing this place from the Iim of Joshua 15:29 ). The station mentioned in Numbers 21:11; Numbers 33:44 (in Numbers 33:45 Iyim alone) and described ( Numbers 21:11 ) as ‘in the wilderness which is before Moab toward the sun-rising,’ and more briefly ( Numbers 33:44 ) as ‘in the border of Moab.’ Nothing is known as to its position beyond these indications.
