The primary reference is found in <a href="/numbers/21-11.htm">Numbers 21:11</a> and <a href="/numbers/33-44.htm">Numbers 33:44-45</a>.<br><br><b>Location and Meaning:</b> <br>Iye-abarim, sometimes referred to as "Iyim" in some translations, is a location on the eastern side of the Jordan River. The name "Iye-abarim" can be translated to mean "Ruins of Abarim" or "Heaps of the Abarim," indicating a place of desolation or ruins. It is situated in the region of Moab, near the border of Edom, and is part of the journey of the Israelites as they traveled towards the Promised Land.<br><br><b>Biblical Context:</b> <br>In the narrative of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and their subsequent wanderings in the wilderness, Iye-abarim serves as one of the encampments during their journey. The Israelites, under the leadership of Moses, camped at Iye-abarim as they moved closer to the land of Canaan. This location is part of the broader journey that includes several encampments, each marking a step in the fulfillment of God's promise to bring His people to a land flowing with milk and honey.<br><br><b>Scriptural Citations:</b> <br>· <a href="/numbers/21-11.htm">Numbers 21:11</a> : "Then they set out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness that faces Moab toward the sunrise."<br>· <a href="/numbers/33-44.htm">Numbers 33:44-45</a> : "They set out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, on the border of Moab. They set out from Iye-abarim and camped at Dibon-gad."<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>Iye-abarim, like many of the encampments mentioned in the wilderness journey, represents a stage in the spiritual and physical journey of the Israelites. It is a testament to God's guidance and provision for His people, even in desolate places. The encampment at Iye-abarim is a reminder of the transient nature of the Israelites' journey and the faith required to trust in God's promises despite the challenges and uncertainties of the wilderness.<br><br><b>Historical and Archaeological Insights:</b> <br>While the exact location of Iye-abarim is not definitively known, it is generally associated with the region east of the Dead Sea, in the modern-day territory of Jordan. Archaeological evidence in the broader region of Moab provides insights into the ancient cultures and settlements that existed during the time of the Israelites' wanderings. However, specific archaeological findings directly linked to Iye-abarim remain limited.<br><br><b>Cultural and Literary Context:</b> <br>The mention of Iye-abarim in the biblical narrative contributes to the larger account of the Israelites' exodus and their reliance on God's direction. It is part of the literary structure of the wilderness journey, which includes a series of encampments that highlight the themes of obedience, faith, and divine provision. The name itself, suggesting ruins or desolation, may also serve as a literary device to emphasize the contrast between the barrenness of the wilderness and the abundance of the Promised Land.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">IYE-ABARIM</span><p>i-ye-ab'-a-rim (`iye ha-`abharim, "the heaps of the Abarim"; the King James Version Ije-abarim; in <a href="/numbers/21-11.htm">Numbers 21:11</a> the Septuagint reads Codex Vaticanus, Chalglei): A place in the journeyings of Israel named after Oboth, said to be "in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising" (<a href="/numbers/21-11.htm">Numbers 21:11</a>), "in the border of Moab" (<a href="/numbers/33-44.htm">Numbers 33:44</a>).
