KEDEMOTH.—A place apparently on the upper course of the Arnon, assigned to Reuben (Jos_13:18), and a Levitical city (Jos_21:37 = 1Ch_6:79). From the ‘wilderness of Kedemoth’ messengers were sent by Moses to Sihon (Deu_2:26). The site may be the ruin Umm er-Rasâs, N.E. of Dibon.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

("easternmost parts".) A town E. of the Dead Sea, assigned to Reuben (Jos_13:18), then to the Merarite Levites (Jos_21:37). A wilderness or uncultivated pasture adjoining was named from it; where Israel encamped when Moses asked leave of Sihon to pass through the Amorite country (Deu_2:26, etc.).

Ked'emoth. (beginnings). One of the towns in the district east of the Dead Sea, allotted to the tribe of Reuben, Jos_13:18, given by the Merarite Levites. Jos_21:37; 1Ch_6:79. It possibly conferred its name on the "wilderness," or uncultivated pasture land, "of Kedemoth." Num_21:33; Deu_2:26-27; etc.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


ked?ḗ-moth, kḗ-dē?moth (קדמות, ḳedhēmōth, ?eastern parts?): From the wilderness to which this town gave its name, Moses sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites in Heshbon (Deu_2:26). It was given by Moses to the tribe of Reuben (Jos_13:18), and assigned to the Merarite Levites (Jos_21:37; 1Ch_6:79). It must probably be sought on the upper course of the Arnon. Buhl (GAP, 268) suggests that it may be identified with Umm er-Reṣāṣ. See JAHAZ.

Ked?emoth, a city in the tribe of Reuben (Jos_13:18), near the river Arnon, which gave its name to the wilderness of Kedemoth, on the borders of that river, from whence Moses sent messengers of peace to Sihon, king of Heshbon (Deu_2:26), the southern frontier of whose kingdom, and the boundary between the kingdom of the Ammonites and the Moabites, was the Arnon.

Kedemoth
(Heb. Kedemoth', קְדֵמוֹת, beginnings; Sept. Κεδμώθ, Κεδημώθ, but in Chronicles Καδμώθ v. r. Καμηδώθ), a city in the tribe of Reuben, assigned with its suburbs (" villages"), to the Levites of the family of Merari (Jos_13:18; Jos_21:37; 1Ch_6:79; in all which passages it is mentioned between Jahazah and Mephaath), with a desert (מַדְבָּר, open pasture-grounds) of the same name adjacent, whence Moses despatched the messengers requesting of Sihon a peaceable passage through his dominions; which the Israelites were now entering, having crossed the' river Arnon (Deu_2:26). These indications fix its locality not far northeast of Dibon-gad, possibly at the ruined village ed Duleitat (Robinson, Researches, 3, Append. p. 170), east of Medeba (Van de Velde, Map).
