The setting

Plains of Moab, ~1405 BC. Another sunrise, another move. From Dhiban to Almon-diblathaim, modern Jordan...

The emotion here: patient documentation with growing anticipation

The original word

māqōm (מָקוֹם) — place, but implies temporary dwelling, not permanent home

Why it matters

Almon Diblathaim means 'hiding place of the two fig cakes' — possibly an oasis
