Bamoth light

Where is Bamoth in the Bible?

Bamoth was an Israelite encampment located in the region of Moab, east of the Jordan River, during the wilderness wanderings of the Exodus. The place is mentioned in Numbers 21:19-20 as one of the stations where the Israelites stopped on their journey toward the Promised Land. Bamoth sits on a plateau and is named for the high places or "bamoth" (altars) associated with Moabite worship, giving it religious significance in the ancient Near East. The biblical reference places it in the context of Israel's travels through Moab, marking an important stage in their path toward Canaan before crossing the Jordan River.
