במדבר, פרק ל״ג, פסוק מ״ז

The journey of the Israelites through the desert includes a detailed record of their various encampments, a list that partially parallels travel accounts found elsewhere in the Torah. As the nation moves forward and sets up camp in the mountains of Abarim, this specific stage of their travels connects directly to a previously documented location. Rather than being a newly introduced destination, the arrival at these mountains is the exact same stop that was earlier identified as the camp at Mattanah, reached after leaving the desert [חזקוני].
