IYE-ABARIM (Iyim of the regions beyond, distinguishing this place from the Iim of Jos_15:29).The station mentioned in Num_21:11; Num_33:44 (in Num_33:45 Iyim alone) and described (Num_21:11) as in the wilderness which is before Moab toward the sun-rising, and more briefly (Num_33:44) as in the border of Moab. Nothing is known as to its position beyond these indications.

ı̄-yē-ab?a-rim (עיּי העברים, ‛ı̄yē hā-‛ăbhārı̄m, ?the heaps of the Abarim?; the King James Version Ije-abarim; in Num_21:11 the Septuagint reads Codex Vaticanus, Χαλγλεί, Chalgleı́): A place in the journeyings of Israel named after Oboth, said to be ?in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising? (Num_21:11), ?in the border of Moab? (Num_33:44). The indications of position here given are not sufficient to guide to any identification, and, so far, nothing has been discovered in the district to help us. Called simply ?Iyim? (the King James Version ?Iim?) in Num_33:45.
