(bottles), one of the encampments of the Israelites, east of Moab. (Numbers 21:10; 33:43) Its exact site is unknown but it was probably south of the Dead Sea, on the boundary between Moab and Edom.—ED).

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898) & Schaff's Bible Dictionary

O'BOTH (bottles, water-skins), one of the stations of the Israelites east of Moab. Num 21:10; Num 33:43. It was the first encampment after the brazen serpent was set up, and before they reached Ije-abarim. It is perhaps near the Wady el-Ahsa, on the pilgrim-route between Damascus and Mecca. This was probably on the boundary between Edom and Moab, and extends north-westward to the Dead Sea.
