(the acacias), the place of Israel’s encampment between the conquest of the transjordanic highlands and the passage of the Jordan (Numbers 25:1; 33:49; Joshua 2:1; 3:1; Micah 6:5). Its full name appears to be given in the first of these passages—Abel has-Shittim, “the meadow, or moist place, of the acacias.” It was “in the Arboth-moab, by Jordan-Jericho” (Numbers 22:1; 26:3; 31:12; 33:48-49). That is to say, it was in the Arabah or Jordan valley, opposite Jericho.
