JAAKAN
Forefather of the Benejaakan, "the children of Jaakan," who
gave their name to one stage of the Israelites’ journeyings. In
<043331> Numbers 33:31 the order is, "from Moseroth" to
Benejaakan; in <051006> Deuteronomy 10:6 it is "from the wells
(beerot ) of the children of Jaakan to Mosera." Probably Israel
visited the two places twice: on the first march toward Canaan,
from Mosera to Benejaakan (<043331> Numbers 33:31); the
reverse order in
<051006> Deuteronomy 10:6, the 40th year, when the march was
differently directed.
