Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered, etc.] It is called the valley of Zered, (<042112>Numbers 21:12), the word used signifying both a valley and a brook; and it is very probable there were both a valley and a brook of the same name; it must be near Dibongad, since in one place it is said the Israelites came from Ijim and pitched in Zered; and in another place that they came from thence, and pitched in Dibongad, (<042111>Numbers 21:11,12) and <043345>Numbers 33:45 and we went over the brook Zered; which was fordable, or perhaps at this time dried up.
